"J" command: J = justify complete systems,  JT = justify text.

The justify command automatically repositions notes, rests, bars, etc. so that
each item gets its minimum required space.  This necessarily distorts the
rhythmic spacing to some extent.  (Notes with accidentals attached need more
room than those without, etc.)  The program give a messaage if there is not
sufficient space for justification.  In this case all that can be done is to
move some material to the next or previous line or decrease the size of the
staff - thereby making all items a little smaller.

The justify command begins with the prompt:

         Type lowest staff # of system, how many staves in system

The musical system may include 1 to 16 staves.  (For justifying large
orchestral scores use the separate JUST program.)  The 2 numbers given
for this prompt set the range of staff lines to be considered.  If the
staff number given is greater than 16 then all staves will be justified.
In this case no second number need be typed.

The second prompt is:

         Left position, right position

This sets the horizontal extent of the area to be justified.  If zeros are
given (or just <enter>) the entire line will be justifed.

 ***** Type the letter "B" to back up from either of these prompts. *****

Examine the music carefully after justifying as some items may be moved to
unexpected positions.  (For example, centered titles will have to be
re-centered.  Also you may need to use the AD command to readjust the stem
lengths of notes under beams.)

JT -- The justify text command has the same prompts as above but with one
      more added:

        Type text's staff # and P4 level of text (99=any level)

      The P4 level of the text need be specified (i.e. not 99) only if text
      appears on more than one level.  JT will check each text item (syllable
      or word, etc.) to be sure that there is at least some observable
      following space before the next word.  If some text must be moved, all
      items attached to the designated staves will also be moved.  This will
      usually cause some distortion of the original rhythmic spacing.  (This
      is often unavoidable when adding text to notes.)  The best procedure is
      to use first the LI command to get good rhythmic spacing; then use the
      JT command; and finally use the J command to fix any crowding of notes.

      When dealing with long words or syllables it is often advisable to shift
      their positions in edit mode before using JT.  (This can avoid extreme
      distortion of rhythmic position.)
