I'm sure there is a lot ways to get things stretched out. If you are using chord mode to get chord symbols to print, and the chord has a long name something like this can cause problems: c4:11+^7 c:11+^7 c:11+^7 c:11+^7 four quarter notes of a C add9/add#11... The engraver apparently tries to space things that the long chord name can fit in four times in a measure even if you set the chord changes to only show when a chord changes or the stave changes. I've worked around this in chord mode by putting a lot of rests in ad only putting chord symbols in when absolutely necessary. So the above becomes: c4:11+^7 r2. and the engraver spaces things to only have to fit the chord name in once.
