Hi Paul,
I just searched through the docs and I don't find the meaning of X-
extent.
What does it mean? What does the above do?
Google
X-extent site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.12
[Hint to everyone: using the 'site' Google-keyword is a great method
of searching the docs!]
The first hit is
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-
internals/grob_002dinterface>
The first property description on that page is:
"X-extent (pair of numbers) Hard coded extent in X direction."
So the command I suggested simply convinces the spacing engine
BarNumbers have no width. [n.b., There's probably a more 'kosher' way
of doing this, but this works for me.]
Now just solve the collision appropriately (with padding or
whatever).
Why doesn't outside-staff-priority alone solve this?
Don't know — I imagine that o-s-p simply decides the stacking
*order*, but doesn't adjust the collision engine's algorithm w.r.t.
horizontal positions/spacing.
Kieren.
