Comment #8 on issue 3761 by [email protected]: LeftEdge no longer takes

Sorry to chime in late.
I am wary of giving extents to unseen unless they are implementing the axis
group interface (like note columns) or are stubs (like SpanBarStub).
Furthermore, the extent '(0 . 0) is arbitrary and things could slide over
or under that depending on where they are on the page. Why not, for
example, '(1 . 1)?
The solution I always use in cases like this, which I'd like to see be the
norm, is the creation of "stub" grobs. Thinking of it in terms of
classical engraving, stubs are objects we put on the plates to keep other
objects flush but that we don't put ink on, so they leave no trace on the
printed score. Stubs should take their heights from the neighboring grobs
they're blocking, which is the point of the pure-from-neighbor-engraver.
This is conceptually similar to
