Fwd: shapeII debugging

[Simon Albrecht]

Did the mail not get through? I didn’t receive it from the list. (It 
can’t possibly have been due to a 180kB image?) This gives me 
opportunity to fix the attachments – I only just noticed that the image 
belonged to a previous state of the file. (Also, with 100dpi, the image 
has only 21kB…)

I added the information to the oll tracker issue as well.

Best, Simon

My ‘minimal’ example file is the attached one. Last time I tried to get
to the source of the problem I found this tracker issue [1] and came to
the conclusion that a fix would require integration of shapeII deep in
the C++ LilyPond code to circumvent the really fundamental problems
hinted there.
Presumably the difference between your user experiences and mine has to
do with the bug only (?) occuring with the (head x x) option.
And certainly I agree that it would be marvelous to see the
functionality in LilyPond proper, with this bug fixed.

Best, Simon
