Comment #9 on issue 3761 by [email protected]: LeftEdge no longer takes
up space
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3761
LeftEdge is a lot like Mike's "stub" objects in that it is invisible but
affects spacing. SpanBarStubs were introduced with issue 1846, which fixed
the issue 910 Mike mentions but caused some frustration
(https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=1&q=%221846%22)
The invisible LeftEdge object is placed above the System at its left edge.
Raising its Y-extent to '(1 . 1) makes no difference because it just moves
back down until its extent rests on the box around the System. LeftEdge
seems to keep out of the way of everything else, but invisible things there
have caused frustration in the past.

It would be good if we could suggest a simpler more robust way (certainly
not one involving the Pure_from_neighbor_engraver) to get the effect
desired in the original bug-report.
Maybe we should simply say "use the workaround" if we don't want LeftEdge
to take up space by default.
