Hm, but why are there line breaks after every R1? e.g.:

R1*12
r2 r4 r8 r16 r32 r64 r128 r128

It's due to the artificial nature of this example.  LP tries to estimate a 
suitable spacing for the section of music presented, based on the shortest 
duration found.  The 128th notes lead her to believe long measures will be 
needed to accommodate all these short notes.  Try removing the shortest notes 
progrssively and you'll see the changes.  Maybe a better algorithm would 
actually count how many short notes are present, but that would need to be 
implemented as an enhancement, and it is rare that difficulties arise for 
'real' music, even with this simple estimation.

This can be used to override Lily's estimation by setting a more suitable value 
if only a small number of short notes are present.
