Black "Ghost" When Sweeping

[jahern]

When you arrange the words so that the first line tends to be short and the last line tends to be long, keep in mind that length in musical time in the last line is more important than length in words (sometimes they go hand in hand)

Try to end a musical phrase in the middle of the last line and start a new one in the same line.

Generally with the new program I have had success by just making sure that I keep the lines pretty even. I had the "Ghost" problem once but the lines were totally skewed the wrong way, so it was a quick and easy fix.

And once again, don't hesitate to use a spreadsheet to plan each line of the page, if it gets that rough. But really, I've had good success with some pretty fast songs.
