I've been working on the last version of David Nalesnik's guide-finger code.
The reason is a horizontal and vertical placement problem when the guide line
is long and/or at a steep angle. I have managed to fix the vertical problem,
but the horizontal problem has me flummoxed. The example below shows the
horizontal problem by placing a guide finger above/below a normal finger
number.
A stencil is created for the guide-line and finger number, which needs to be
centered above/below its associated note head for fingeringOrientations up and
down. However, something is wrong with the centering calculation. The width of
the stencil seems to be too short so the calculation fails to center it. So
there is something about the width of the stencil I do not understand.
I have heavily comment the code to make it possible to understand.
