I tried that, but the second score still looked the same as the first 
one.  I remember trying a whole bunch of different values in there when 
I first wrote that documentation, so something weird is happening -- 
perhaps the recent spacing changes have rendered it obsolete?  In any 
case, I couldn't spend more than five minutes experimenting with it, so 
it's on my list of things to do soon.

I haven't looked at this yet, but if the examples _are_ exactly the 
same, I'll at least delete one of them.  I doubt that I'll do anything 
more than that, since I know far less about lyrics than you do.
