Issue 243: really weird line breaks
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=243

Comment #5 by address@hidden:
I don't really understand your comments Joe.
Line breaking algorithms always handles the last word on the line specially, 
because
you don't need to take the space after that word into account when doing 
justified
output.
Normally, iirc, each word is assigned two springs. The one is used if the word 
is
last on the line, and the other is used if the word isn't last on line. To do
justified output the last-on-line spring is set to zero, and to do leftified 
text,
the not-last-on-line spring is set to zero.

Btw, ofcourse my previous statement was simplified. Ofcourse you also look at 
the
other lines, not just the shortest. trying to minimize Sum( [surplus space at 
the end
of line]^3 ) gives something sensible, iirc.
