Hi all,

I ran a little test, because I often use svg as output to manipulate afterwards.

I noticed there seems to be a difference between the pdf and svg output. 

To illustrate it, I've made a screenshot. Lilypond 2.18.0 was used, frescobaldi 2.0.12 on Ubuntustudio 13.10 and on KDE. Look at the metronome mark, there is a collision of the fingering notation and the metronome mark, which is much lower then in the pdf output.

This shorter example shows the problem. When viewed on Mint 16 amd64, the tempo marking in the SVG output is both lower, so that it collides with the stem of the A, and also has insufficient space between the equals sign and the preceding quarter note:

\version "2.18.0"

\relative c'' {

\tempo 4=76

a4

}
