Hi Werner,

I don't mind to which list you send a request to change a LSR-snippet.

Though, a patch isn't useful. I can't apply it through the web-interface.

The descriptions of LSR-snippets are using HTML formatting. So i'd
prefer plain text.

The description of
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=387
was:
"
 By setting the <code>'Y-extent</code> property to a suitable value,
all <code>DynamicLineSpanner</code> objects (hairpins and dynamic
texts) can be aligned to a common reference point, regardless of their
actual extent. This way, every element will be vertically aligned,
thus producing a more pleasing output.

 The same idea, together with \textLengthOn, is used to align the text
scripts along their baseline.
"

I changed
\textLengthOn
to
<code>\textLengthOn</code>
This will be imported with the next makeLSR run.

Though, due to a very annoying LSR-bug every changed snippet (even if
only the description changes) results in cropped images.
I had to add
\markup \vspace #1 %avoid LSR-bug
And since this snppet is tagged doc, it will appear in our documentation, too.

@Phil
May I ask you to contact Sebastiano about this bug.
I tried it two times, without success.
Well, he answered (at least the second time), though nothing happened.
I'm getting tired of trying it a third time.
