I think that this boils down to agreeing on sensible semantics and good interfaces to what's currently stuck as issue 3524 <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3524>. If that reaches home plate in a sensible state, doing the shaped whiteout should be well within reach, the main problem being how to add padding. The lion's share of the required work will likely _not_ be sailing under the banner of "whiteout". -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
