I guess we need to understand why these are different and what other effects they have before raising a bug report.The correction just after a bar-line (the one in StaffSpacing) only adds space, never removes space. This difference is explicit enough in the code that I would guessit was intentional. Whether it is desired is a different question.The code references Helene Wanske's book Musiknotation. Speaking as a violist, I think it is easier to keep place in repetitive music when there is a bit of variation in spacing.
I'm not really concerned enough about this to investigate it further. It arose out of my investigations of Mike's 5917046 patch (which _is_ affected by the stem direction) and threw me off the scent for quite a while. If no one else is bothered let's just leave it.
Also strangely, no optical correction is applied to first and last minims (half notes) in a measure,Check again. It is for me, so long as the line is ragged-right.
You're right. I had ragged-right, but the example I used by chance fitted a line rather tightly. Under those conditions it seems the optical correction is suppressed, or if it is applied it is applied equally before and after a bar line. Trevor
