Re: Tempo mark alignment

[Xavier Scheuer]

I totally agree, there is a problem with textual Tempo marks alignment.

I wanted to report this too, then I saw issues 684, 700 and now 712 
reporting this, so I didn't. But since there are 3 unfixed issues 
reporting the same thing and since the first one is open for 8 months 
now, I allowed myself to bump this on lilypond-devel and bug-lilypond.

\tempo "text" should align on time-signature (at the beginning of the 
score). This is, to my opinion, the only and last "real" visual bug of 
lilypond compared to "professional-looking" scores. Other bugs are, 
according to me, more "occasional" and not "chronic" like this one.

You are considering this bug as "priority-medium". For me, simple user 
and for my usage of lilypond, it's a "priority-high" expectation to see 
this issue fixed.

Thanks a lot,


Xavier


PS : When I read this message again it looks a bit "offensive", this 
wasn't my goal. I really appreciate the work of every of you and I think 
lilypond is a extraordinary software making wonderful scores. So please 
forgive my rudeness, which is more a wish to see lilypond improved than 
an attack on people doing so a huge and great work. Thanks.
