I find the default spacing in Lilypond too tight for most purposes, so I usually add "\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #3" to my parts. I noticed, however, that when there is a time signature or key change at the end of a system, the last note is set too close to the barline. The problem doesn't exist in Lilypond 2.6. I am using version 2.8.1. \version "2.8.0" { \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #3 % this has a similar effect: \repeat unfold 64 b32 \break \repeat unfold 32 a'16 \time 5/4 % or alternately a key change: \key g \major % but \key d \major or \key a \major looks better -- the more sharps, % the farther from the barline the last note is placed, for some reason... } Btw, thank you for the new stable release! - Tuukka
