Thanks, these are both fixed now. I've configured PianoStaff to stretch
by default, but by a smaller amount than the other staff groups. At this
point, though, all of the default settings are provisional (ie. if
someone would try out different values and choose something that looks
good (or looks like professional scores), that would be much
appreciated).
