Re: sponsorship request: minimum-measure-left-padding

[Damian leGassick]

i think i second that...

but isn't the collision of (for instance) flats with bar lines a bug/ 
defect?

if not, i'll chip in - i've got hundreds of theory/analysis snippets  
that can't go to print as is and i can't go back to 2.10...i'm hoping  
this will be fixed before  i have to tweak them all by by hand (the  
recent ones have eighth note spacers after each bar/clef).


Cheers

Damian

btw, what are the best workarounds without adding spacers?
