Percentage of area differences sounds like a recipe for disaster. Once one box gets large enough, it will eat every small box in its vicinity because any single one will not make a large percentual difference. You have to do things like that by accumulating errors and not forget them in between. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
