 Look up \break and \noBreak in the docs (eg at

 they don't help, make sure you have no notes
 extending beyond the end of
 bars - look up barcheck to help (see

 doesn't help please post your

   I'm notating a piece of music, and I'm getting 2,
 3, and 4 bars on
 different lines.  But the original hardcopy I'm
 transcribing has exactly 3
 on all lines, and it definitely looks better.
 
   I read the section on horizontal spacing, but I
 don't want to screw around
 with ad hoc stretching, obviously.  Is there any way
 I can control it at the
 bar level for the whole piece?  I tried to do my
 homework, but couldn't find
 anything about it.  Thanks,
