New issue 3218 by [email protected]: \column and \left-column don't align
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3218
\markup { \column { "" b c } \left-column { "" b c } }
aligns the first b with the second "" while the first "" is discarded.
This is partly an easter egg from old code (2008 or earlier): empty
stencils are sometimes removed in the markup commands, sometimes not,
without a really convincing pattern.
However, I would guess that "" at one point of time was a point-stencil
rather than an empty stencil (at least, this would make sense to me), so
this inconsistency probably was much less apparent. At any rate, it seems
like a mistake to drop empty lines from columns, so "" better create a
point-stencil rather than an empty stencil.
It would be good if someone could check this on 2.16 to figure out whether
or not it was indeed the skyline code which made "" empty or whether we are
dealing with an even older inconsistency.
