Well, then your complaint is certainly valid! :-)

Question -- were these all or mostly vocal works?  I don't remember any similar 
examples from my own use of Finale, but it's been quite a long while, and of 
course I was producing instrumental works.  I have a feeling the inclusion of 
lyrics might be affecting the spacing.

I have, and in a published score at that, but I think it was the fault of an 
earlier version of one of these notation programs, and almost certainly a 
publisher who didn't know how to use it (and obviously didn't care about quality 
control).
