Re: Another Lyrics spacing issue.

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings,

Yes, this is perfect! I am sheepish to admit that I do not quite
understand the solution. For example, if I were to leave out the first
measure in the code I submitted and then compiled, there appears a
large gap between the penultimate and the final word of the spoken
dialogue? Could you enlighten me as to this? Thank you again for your
solution!
