That's actually a real problem. Now 2.17.27 will have some padding significantly reduced (halved?) if I understand Keith correctly, so we should get some pages more out. If I remember correctly, the skyline code made it desirable to increase some paddings to avoid jamming things too closely. And also if I remember correctly, the page break decisions do _not_ make use of skylines. Instead, skylines are only used for spreading out the page _after_ pagebreaking, so the net result will be more pages rather than fewer. I may have understood something wrong here. However, if my understanding is _not_ mistaken here, I think we should not release 2.18 before we have integrated the interstaff positioning using skylines into the page breaking decisions. And of course, the distance between two successive skylines should be measured _once_ at most. It probably needs to become a part of vertical spacing rods or something. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
