[WISH] about \super and \sub

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Dear Developers, Dear List,

There is something I found disturbing for years : I think \super and \sub are not properly settled.

Here's a little code to show what I'm talking about :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.17.28"

#(set-global-staff-size 30)

\markup\column {

\line\typewriter { "%" Here's what "\super" does : }

\concat { E " = " mc\super 2 }

\vspace#.5

\line\typewriter { "%" Here's what "\super" should do : }

\concat { E " = " mc\raise#.7 \teeny 2 }

\vspace#1

\line\typewriter { "%" Here's what "\sub" does : }

\concat { H\sub 2 O }

\vspace#.5

\line\typewriter { "%" Here's what "\super" should do : }

\concat { H \raise#-.3 \teeny 2 O }

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I've also joined a LateX output for info.

Cheers,

Pierre
