Vertical spacing? I'd be willing to mentor a project that implements vertical placement of systems and vertical stretching within systems in a single pass using Simple_spacer. This would include, for example, proper support for centred dynamics in a PianoStaff, plus better automatic placement of Lyrics. With enough time, there could also be support for fixed page layouts and maybe some other goodies I haven't thought of. Joe By the way, I have a hunch that the fix for grace note synchronization isn't time-consuming or large (so maybe it isn't appropriate for a project). The reason it's been open for so long is that it's hard to figure out what the fix should _be_. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
