Re: is a space after % required in comments?

[Mats Bengtsson]

As far as I can see from the source code, everything between the % and 
the end of the line
should be ignored by LilyPond, no matter if you have a space after the % 
or not.
The only special case is %{ which is the start of a block comment.
