Hi,
Yes, I realize that. I'm just wondering if the minimum-lenght property does
what it is supposed to do? In my second case the length of the hairpin itself
is much shorter than what the minimum suggests…
I can see that the doc says it *tries* to make a spanner at least that long…
can you force this?
