When you examine scores containing Lyrics, you may notice that sometimes  
the note spacing is uneven for no good reason (i.e. syllabes aren't so wide  
that horizontal stretching is necessary, but the notes are stretched  
anyway).

I suppose this happens because when Lily determines spacing, systems aren't  
stretched to fill the line (i.e. Lily operates on naturally spaced measures  
- like in ragged-right).  Then, when the stretching is applied, it doesn't  
take into account that some places are already stretched and there's no  
need to stretch them more.
