ouch. That will go very wrong if there are any spacing changes. > what would be the nicest syntax using that data? \shape by David Nalesnik (it's awesome!)

Hmm. I'd gladly help with that, but i have little time, and actually when i tried using Denemo recently i couldn't get it to work... :/ > There are issues with curve shaping - the red markers for the curve > shape are considered by LilyPond when it is doing collision avoidance, > so sometimes the score you are editing is not the same as it would be > without the markers.

I think the intent of the code displaying control-points was that they shouldn't influence spacing at all. If you have a tiny example, i suggest you to post it as a separate question to the list.
