Re: average-spacing-wishes and note too close to barline

[Mats Bengtsson]

You misunderstood me. What I tried to say was that the problem you observe
has nothing to do with the average-spacing-wishes property and therefore 
cannot
be solved by setting that property, no matter how many staves you have.

(However, once you have solved it for a single stave, you may still get 
problems
in multi-stave scores if you have an accidental on the first note of the 
measure only
in one of several staves. In that case, it helps to set 
average-spacing-wishes.)

Let's go back to your original example. I have added some more comments
and settings, that can be included in the bug handling database. As far 
as I can
see, this is a separate bug from #242 (at least partly).

%{
The accidental is too close to the left bar line.
Also, it seems that for ":|" and other "wide" bar line types
the padding and space-alist properties are not counted from the
right edge of the bar line.
%}

\version "2.11.22"
\paper{ ragged-right=##t indent = #0 }

\new Score
{
 \new Staff \relative c'' {
   R1 \bar ":|" bes2 r2 \bar "|" bes2 r2 | \break
\override Score.BarLine #'space-alist = #'(
(time-signature . (extra-space . 0.75))
(custos . (minimum-space . 2.0))
(clef . (minimum-space . 1.0))
(key-signature . (extra-space . 1.0))
(key-cancellation . (extra-space . 1.0))
(first-note . (fixed-space . 1.3))
(next-note . (semi-fixed-space . 1.3)) ; Changed from the new default 0.9
(right-edge . (extra-space . 0.0)))
   R1 \bar ":|" bes2 r2 \bar "|" bes2 r2 | \break
\override Score.AccidentalPlacement #'left-padding = #1.0
   R1 \bar ":|" bes2 r2 \bar "|" bes2 r2 | \break
 }
}


You can workaround your problem by increasing either the semi-fixed-space
after next-note  or the left-padding of AccidentalPlacement even more, 
but I'm
afraid that such a setting may look ugly in other measures where you 
don't have
this particular combination of a repeat sign followed by an accidental.
