In order to automatically stretch systems so that they should fill the
space left on a page, a two-pass technique can be used:

@subsection New spacing area
New sections with different spacing parameters can be started with
-@code{newSpacingSection}. This is useful when there are
+@code{newSpacingSection}. This is useful when there are
sections with a different notions of long and short notes.
In the following example, the time signature change introduces a new
@lilypond[relative,fragment,verbatim,quote]
\time 2/4
-c4 c8 c
+c4 c8 c
c8 c c4 c16[ c c8] c4
\newSpacingSection
\time 4/16
c16[ c c8]
@end lilypond
+
The @code{\newSpacingSection} command creates a new
-@code{SpacingSpanner} object, and hence new @code{\override}s
+@rinternals{SpacingSpanner} object, and hence new @code{\override}s
may be used in that location.
