Re: Bad-Schemer syndrome

Hi All!

I notice that the spacer command (e.g., "s4"), though
always accounting rightly for the TIME it commandeers
(here a quarter-note's worth), does not always insert
ACTUAL HORIZONTAL SPACE in the score.

How can I ensure that it'll do that too?  (I.e., what
score-setup spec would have disabled it?)

Thanks,
Pete
