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

Comment #6 by joeneeman:
OK, if you don't want to maximise the shortest line then you can disregard my 
second
point.

The problem is this: when we space a justified line, we assign it a penalty 
based on
how much force is required to stretch or compress it into position. When we 
aren't
justifying the lines, this force will always be zero. But we need to assign some
penalty anyway, to reflect the fact that an almost-full line is better than an 
empty
line.

The current method bases the penalty on the amount of force that would be 
required to
stretch the line to its full width. You want to change the penalty so that it is
based on the amount of space to the right of the line. These can be quite 
different
when two lines have springs of different lengths and stiffness.

Anyway, I've made the change in my working copy and it gives the results you 
want.
