Hi, all!
Just a few comments:
Actually, binding the origin to a staff line (e.g. the most lower staff
line) rather than to the center of the origin (as we currently do) would
solve the current problem that you have to design clefs explicitly either
for staves with an even number of staff lines or for staves with an odd
number of staff lines. In this sense, I would really welcome such a
change (even though some of the ancient clefs would then have to be
shifted by 1/2 staff line in the metafont code)!
If you do not understand what I mean, then just try to apply the ordinary
G clef to a score with 4 staff lines or 6 staff lines instead of the
ordinary 5 staff lines. You will see that the clef will always be off 1/2
staff line (unless you do some y-offset trickery with backend properties).
However, the drum clef will suffer from such a change, since the drum clef
is usually always centered on the staff, regardles of the number of staff
lines. I think, the drum clef is the only clef for which this problem
will arise. Also, I am not sure if there are some serious implications
of such a change for the pitch squash engraver.
Greetings,
Juergen

As far as I can see there is no strict need, fot it to be zero, so if
you have a sensible patch to change it, go ahead and post it.
BTW I know that you have an interesting patch for Lily to make line
configurations more flexible. I'll try to review it this week.

In LilyPond, using line-positions, the center is required to be at 0,
otherwise there are problems with the created score. There are a
couple of possibilities.
One is to make the documentations more clear that staffs must be
centered at 0.
The other possibility is to modify LilyPond to take staffs which are
not centered at 0.
I notice 2 areas which need to be modified. I have a small patch for
bar-line.cc, which otherwise draws the bar line of the correct size,
but centered around 0 rather than centered around the real center.
Ledger lines need some work as well, though there are problems even if
the staff is centered, particularly if the top and bottom lines are on
even positions.
Should I post my patch for bar lines for staffs which are not centered
at 0?
