Are you saying that you think the example with the ledger line extensions is better or worse? I think with the extensions where they wouldn't ordinarily be looks worse and is a bit more cluttered to read easily. I also think the extended ledger lines don't add elegance to the score at all. I think the example you posted above as "move3_ledgerlines_without.pdf" is the better looking example of the two. -- David H.
