Hi Kieren,

that’s quite nice and I definitely agree lyrics spacing should go in 
that direction. I once imagined one might solve this by calculating 
‘lyrics density’ at all places and making LyricText.self-alignment-X 
proportional to the first derivative of lyrics density. But certainly 
that would involve at least an engraver, and is nothing I could 
implement myself.
Currently, the best bet would probably be a mod-list of 
LyricText.self-alignment-X overrides through the edition-engraver…

Best, Simon
