Re: adjusting measure width and/or minimum measure width

[Mats Bengtsson]

The spacing calcluations in LilyPond are quite complex, which hopefully
results in a nicer looking default layout than most other programs.
Some parameters that can be modified are described in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Horizontal-spacing.html
However, you could also take a look at the followups to the following 
mail http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-02/msg00000.html
in the mailing list archive for some quick and dirty solutions.
