Hi, I have no say in Lilypond development, but I do have similar thoughts I would like to share (well as maybe a more bias windows user). Perhaps what some of us imagined before tried using Lilypond was that you just have to do a few clicking, and out comes the score. That was what I thought,

Han-Wen, It turns out that manually setting vertical spacement tweak is way too fragile. They are easily broken when changing LilyPond version for instance. Or if one set manually all tweaks, and then is told: "could you make margins a bit larger, or use another font size", then the whole work has
