Re: Horizontal spacing bug?

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Ok, here's a -- simple -- snippet (I should have start with it, sorry):

%%

\version "2.19.83"
{ s1 cis'4 }
{ s1 ais4 }
{ s1 fis4 }
{ s1 ais''4 }
{ s1 cis'''4 }
{ s1 eis'''4 }

%%

So it seems that the LP alignment changes after more than two ledger lines (probably because of the accidentals vertical-skylines limit).

Again: does that follow the traditional -- state-of-the-art -- rules?

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi David,

Thanks for your answer.

However, I probably badly explained my problem since it has nothing to do with any modern style alignment.

Thing is that -- in situ -- every measure that begins with an accidental sign offsets the first note, except for this particular measure.

Why? There is much room for that offset...

(See measure 15 in situ)

I progressively lowered your aes,! above to ges,! and then f,! at
which point the natural moved to the left, just like the measure below
it in the second stave. Isn't this merely because the top of the
natural sign is now clear of the bottom of the barline, so there's
room to print it further left.

(As an aside, it amuses me to read the posts from people who want their
scores' x-axes treated precisely like graph paper, with strict
proportional spacing. Surely this means that the first note of each
measure should overprint the barline.)

Cheers,
David.
