- Word Extensions: many improvements. All variants of
lyrics positioning are now taken into account correctly. So, the
option whether to calculate word extensions for left-aligned
syllables has been removed as this is now recognized
automatically. The other options may require slightly different
values to achieve the same results.
- New Spacing: when using the special preparation for
complementary rhythms, it is now ensured that the notes are
always created within the staff so that no ledger lines can occur
which would have an effect on spacing.
