Comment #4 on issue 1785 by lemniskata.bernoullego: Compressible space
before the first note of a line ?
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1785

Can we make it compressible, but less than now?
It would be perfect if the compressibility would depend on what is the last
symbol before notes:

There are 'internal' properties (undocumented and probably not meant to be 
adjusted) that determine the compressibility independently depending on what is 
the last symbol before the notes.

These properties are part of the 'space-alist's defined in define-grobs.scm and 
the entries can be fixed or semi-fixed.  Since they are not documented you have 
to study staff-spacing.cc to see how they work.  Also, the code has not changed 
much since 2002 so the way things are done might seem strange.

I think we should move any discussion, about how the system works, over to 
lilypond-devel.

I raised this bug only to warn people that I intend to restore the 
before-first-note space back to its former firmness.
