So in C++, it would be non-hackish…?

Agreed.

I’ve just discovered that using lyric-word-compressor makes the last line of my 
score unexpectedly (and unpredictably) shorter, as if I had set ragged-last = 
##t. I'll see if I can make an MWE that demonstrates this issue; in the 
meantime, I'll have to crank out this score without it…

Thanks,
Kieren.
