Hi, Graham:
You're taking about the example in 4.1, right?
5.1, I believe.
... hmm, that example didn't turn out the way I hoped.
In general, it's a fine example. I think the confusion arises by not
using the same set of notes when switching between padding and staff-
padding: the reader is (or at least I was) not certain exactly what
causes the change in markup placement (i.e., the change/movement of
anchor note may or may not have contributed). In my expanded example,
I tried to use the same pitch set for each system, in order to avoid
that extra confusion.
Could you modify that example to demonstrate any extra subtleties
of padding/staff-padding?
Absolutely! I can't likely take the time right now -- I've *got* to
finish this opera in about a week -- but as soon as I have some
breathing room, I'll get on it.
I'd rather that the example was three systems or less, though.
I can easily make the *basic* example three systems or less.
However, I think (i.e., have recently been thinking) that there
should be, if possible, examples in (much) more depth -- "articles",
really -- and what I've written here was meant to be the start of
such an article. I don't know exactly where such a beast would live
-- it doesn't really belong in the standard "docs", or the LSR, I
think -- but it should be easily accessible. Maybe a Lilypond e-zine
(with searchable archive)?
Best wishes,
Kieren.
