Dear Tim,It is the default behavior, lilypond compresses the whole line. You can see it in the example below. I'm still confused about what the question is, but perhaps a handwritten example or scan from another score would help.
Thanks,

So you want Lilypond to take that space equally from all the measures in that line, rather than just the last measure?I'm actually surprised if that is not the default behavior...On Jan 27, 2025, at 11:15 PM, Paul Scott <[email protected]> wrote: I don't want to cancel it.
