BTW: are there plans for a more high-level interface for skyline settings? IWBN with some more forward-compatible interface, which can work pretty well even if skyline algorithms are changed in the future. E.g., one could specify an extra X and Y extent of an object in the skyline; the semantics would be that the skyline for that object is padded by approximately X horizontally and Y vertically before the spacing takes place. In the best of worlds this would be translated to creating something like an ellipse around the object, but with the current algorithms, it would be translated into property settings that give some octagonal or hexagonal approximation of that ellipse. -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
