Two "solutions":
(1) For a very melismatic text, you can uncheck "Lyrics" in
Preferences>Music Spacing: "Avoid collision of". Applied on a global
basis, this can unfortunately lead to some very exciting text underlay.
(2) Leave "Lyrics" checked, and at the offending melisma use the
Measure Tool to delete the lower handles on boxes 2-x, or as many as
you need to get the spacing looking right. This is a _major_ PITA ...
but I've been doing it for years.
And yes, an "intelligent" programm really should have been smart
enough to recognize melismas long, long ago!

I simply can't believe that after all these years there's no way in
Finale to space correctly melismas over short values. When you have a
syllable over 4 16ths, for instance, you DON'T want the first 16th to
have twice the space of the 3 following ones. But this is still what
happens in Finale 2008. And since I can't get TGTools' New spacing to
work, I'm stuck, and have to go back to 2007... after less than 24
hours with 2008.
Has anyone else had any luck with this? Or is there another way I've
been overlooking for years?
