Hi Dan and all others, yes, the second, more compact / dense version definitely looks _much_ better! I would be happy if you could commit your change!
Thank you, Jürgen On Sat, Feb 13, 2021 at 6:03 PM Dan Eble <d...@faithful.be> wrote: Jürgen and all, I've attached two images of the first system produced for regression test input/[1]breathing-sign-ancient.ly and included the relevant portion of the input below. The current version of master adds some horizontal space after every fourth note. It happens because there are transparent "|" bar lines there.

I am willing to create a ticket and submit the change for review, but I don't have the background to judge whether a change is desirable.
