Re: Issue 563 in lilypond: rename: \fatText -> \textSpace

[Mats Bengtsson]

I agree that \fatText is too silly, but if I heard the command name 
\textSpace, I would
guess that is means something like   in HTML, i.e. a space to use 
in text.
Unfortunately, I cannot think of any better alternative, except for long 
ones like
\letTextTakeSpace. Maybe someone else has a better idea. The current command
for the opposite setting, \emptyText isn't completely intuitive either.
