If you had read the NEWS for version 2.8 you would have noticed that there are several new features to modify the default line breaking and line spacing layout.
Also, if you browse the mailing list archives for lilypond-devel over the last few weeks, you will notice that there's ongoing work on a new and hopefully even better algorithm for the default line breaking, so don't complain too much about that nothing happened since 2.4. /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
