Hi Johannes,

any ideas how to get a more even - ot lets say rhytmic - distribution of the notes with lyrics?

This is an ongoing frustration I have. (I *just* talked about this off-list with Abraham a few days ago!)

may be there is a way to get a little bit more even spacing?

There are many ways — but they all require manual effort.

So, the real question is this: can we make LyricText.self-alignment-X dynamic instead of static? In other words, can we use a springs-like mechanism between LyricText syllables, but that are more flexible than the springs-and-rods between NoteColumns? That way, the NoteColumns would more likely get into their normal rhythmic positions and the LyricText grobs could float horizontally a bit, pushing each other around within their -1 to 1 self-alignment-X range. I'm only brainstorming, but it seems that this would be a generally good approach to provide the least disruption of note spacing.

Looking forward to everyone's thoughts on the matter.

Best,

Abraham
