Hi Max - Can you send out the first attachment we did where the bases
of the triangles do, in fact, touch the stafflines?

Werner - We tried exactly that and the result was optically that notes
in a staffspace (and that therefore connect to an adjacent staffline)
appear a bit larger than notes on a staffline (that therefore do not
connect to an adjacent staffline). The gap was an attempt to
neutralize that optical effect, but perhaps it doesn't quite work.
What other strategies are there?
