Re: [patch] X-aligned instrument names

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Sounds like a good idea.  You could do the same with the other lines,
if you would assume that there was a 'virtual' indent (don't change
the line dimensions, but assume there is a global given space to align
names with)

+         Real right_padding = padding * (1.0 - ((align_x + 1.0) / 2.0));

this looks as if you're looking for the linear_combination function


+         Stencil right_stencil (right_box, ly_string2scm (""));
+         right_stencil.translate_axis (p_extent[RIGHT], X_AXIS);

why don't you create a stencil with a modified dimesions and the same
expression? Adding a bogus ("") seems unnecessary.
