Hi Peter, > As a newbie I'm a bit surprised that Lilypond doesn't do that automatically.
1. It places the left edge of the music automatically. When you think about it, this makes far more sense than having the left edge placed according to the width of the instrument names (and thus potentially moving around on different systems, as the instrument names change). 2. As a non-newbie, what surprises me is that the instrument name padding doesn't work as expected. =( Cheers, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
