Re: Altdefault breves in chords

[Torsten Hämmerle]

Hi Edward,

On the one hand, the altdefault breve notehead needs to align with
accidentals, on the other hand it should overlap in collisition with other
altdefault breve noteheads in a way that the two lines exactly match.

This is rather difficult, because the distance between the two lines even
varies depending on the layout font size: for smaller layout sizes such as
Emmentaler-14, the lines are moved a bit further apart.
Therefore, half the notehead size does not mean half the distance between
the lines, but a wee bit more.

Using horizontal skylines or glyph metrics may not represent the actual
glyph outline closely enough to achieve a perfect automatic alignment under
all circumstances.

Perhaps the problem could be solved in a future release, I just wanted to
give you a feedback and an explanation.

I'll open up a tracker issue in any case.

All the best,
Torsten
