Hey Ben, This is not really a response to your question, but the two things you are pointing out are actually common behavior in typesetting: 1) In vocal scores, the hyphens between lyrics disappear when the spacing is tight. 2) The lagging you are taking about is also standard practice - I don't know of any publishers off the top of my head that left-justify their lyrics. There are work-arounds to both questions you're asking, but before going down that road, check out scores on http://imslp.org/ and get acquainted with traditional typographical standards. They have evolved over centuries facilitate reading and performance, and messing with them is generally an uphill battle. Cheers, MS |
