Re: markup-command boxing the real printed ink?

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello David,

That is a very different thing. with-outline simply tells the outputter to use 
a different stencil for calculating the skylines of a stencil. The problem 
here is that Lilypond relies on the stencil basically telling it’s extent. The 
problem Harm has is that this extent might be smaller than the actual size of 
the printed symbol.

So Harm is looking for a way to determine the acutal printed size of a symbol.

And no, Lilypond does not draw this stuff internally. I mean, Lilypond relies 
on Ghostscript to draw it’s output. If Lilypond wanted to do this, it would 
need it’s own PostScript interpreter.

Cheers,
Valentin
