Hello fellow Lilyponders,

I'm looking around the documentation on NoteHead to Barline spacing, and I'm not finding much? Any pointers will be helpful. 

My goal is to add a bit more space from the first note to the last Barline, for every measure. It seems a bit too close even with the staff size and LyricText size I am using. For example, the F for 'splen' in third measure, or the A for 'Life' after the double bar.

Many thanks,

Matthew,

Never played with layout tweaking myself, but gut feel is you should be able to achieve extra spacing with modification of the space-alist of the barline (spacing for 'first-note' and/or 'next-note')
