chopin example

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Hi,

In the attached example "chopin-example.ly" (two bars from Chopin's 
Nocturne in C# minor) the horizontal spacing of some of the little notes 
is ugly. Watch for example in the first bar where the ottava jump starts.

How can I manually improve this?


P.S. I am typesetting a lesser known and lesser played, yet Chopin 
autograph, version of this Nocturne, with some interesting typesetting 
issues. For example at some point in the score I have to combine two 3/4 
bars in the right hand with one 2/2 bar in the left hand. polymetric music 
from 1830!

I'll share the end results later.
