Comment #7 on issue 4036 by [email protected]: Patch: Revert "Issue 3978: Merge
alignment cleanup"
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4036
"This behavior is correct" can be stated only if you change the
_definition_ of the correct behavior. The previous behavior is still
documented as being correct.
Cf.

with
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#-Self_002daligning-objects-in-both-directions>
Both effect and description in 2.19 are now bad. This was a sweeping
change that will affect a number of tweaks that were done as still
suggested in our documentation, in the NR chapter about
self-alignment-interface.
And any redefinition of "this behavior is correct" that "leads to behavior
users probably won't expect" in a major user-tweakable interface does not
sound like a good idea in first approximation.
How can we converge better with documented behavior and user expectations?
