Sorry for my misleading wording. When saying "should give the same result" what I really meant was "should produce the same visual result". If I had widened the resulting stencil in order to prevent "slanted" text stick out to the left and the right, this would have resulted in a wider spacing when applied to separate chunks. And, additionally, it is perfectly common for a (true) slanted/italic character to protrude out of its box.

Yes, it certainly is, that's why I mentioned it. But it should not lead to a wider spacing, exactly like \italic "This is a sample text" or \italic \line { This is a sample text } and \italic { This is a sample text } will have visually identical spacing All the best, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
