For the first time in many years of using Lilypond, I have a need to add a footnote to some music. One thing puzzles me:
As is traditional in all texts, Lilypond places a horizontal line above the footnotes, separating them from the music above. However the horizontal position of this line confuses me. I would have expected the line to be above the footnotes, starting at the left margin. However it is placed further to the right. This can be seen in the examples in the NR (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/footnotes-in-music-expressions). In my case the footnote is in the second bar of music in the staff, and the line does not start until the beginning of that bar, potentially after the end of the footnote text. Because the music to which the footnote is attached may be several staves above the footnote text, this does not make sense to me. Is there some way of shifting this line to the left margin? Kevin.
