In Christian's example, various factors conspire to make PMX's spacing look
bad: 1) up-stemmed grace with flag followed by down-stemmed main note;
G. Read, Music notation, page 239 "The stems, flags and beams of the single grace-note og grace-note group are usually drawn _up_, regardless of their position on the staff, allthough publishers are by no means consistent in this practice"
(2) grace is two notes BELOW main note, causing flag to be at around the SAME height as the main note; (3) slash increases the visual width of the grace toward the right even beyond the flag, (4) the non-postscript slur extends too far to the left, due to a recent mod I made with only postscript slurs in mind, where such an extension to the left is needed to keep the slur from virtually disappearing. I could program PMX to check for a confluence of the first 3 conditions and automagically insert extra space if needed. Perhaps a better alternative would be to invent an option for the X command to make it put the space right before the main note. Comments?
I strongly vote for the X commans solution. I appreciate to have influence on the typesetting result:-)
