Probably quite obvious: we have a number of spacing regressions causing trouble right now. Particularly worryisome are the page layout regressions: where is the point in "tighter spacing" if we fit less rather than more material on the same page? Yes, I know there is some point to it, but it is clear that we are currently having a few rather heavy-handed regressions messing up things more than before.
The changed rest spacing is in and will need exposure. I am still not finished with PostScript output (I finally found the "curveto" operator which should help with somewhat better PDF-convertible PostScript if one takes a single Bezier curve for each quartercircle of a rounded rectangle. That loses the perfect circularity but we don't need it anyway). But what I am currently working on is basically Stencil::add_to_edge and hspace/vspace and friends. Coming into shape reasonably nicely, but not yet finished. And in the afternoon I am leaving for Poland (one day short since I booked the bus too late). I hope that I have the next iteration ready by the end of next week anyway (returning on Monday). At any rate, the way it is going I find by far our most important task for 2.18 is getting the page breaking back into reliability. More important than all microspacing problems which at least only have local effects. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
