I've seen the output like Tim posted many times.  Of course, it
happens only when there's some other voice/chords/whatever that has a
different rhythm, but the spacing shouldn't look like this.
I did some testing and in my opinion it doesn't make sense to attempt
fixing this without a small team of at least 2-3 coders that would
examine the spacing code in whole and rewrite it as necessary.  I
believe that without organized effort attempts of fixing this will
most likely result in applying duct tape to the code.
I'm willing to be part of such team.

best,
Janek
