What makes me really depressed about the situation with pure-height, is that we have fixed a number of "reasonable" bugs in this area (intersystem begin/rest, overridden stem length, deprecated space, padding of markup -- these are the ones that I did in the immediate past, -- the slur fix from Joe yesterday, and I also recall a bunch of other fixes in this area in the last few months), but we are not only not closer to having reasonable trouble-free page layout, but starting to look at page overfill/underfill problems which are very deeply rooted in the nature of pure-height estimation.
So much so that I am starting to think that sacrificing the benefit of linebreaking/pagebreaking integration in the sake of always running real (non-pure) height, would be the path to having a reasonable layout for our book. That is, calculate the line breaks disregarding page breaking; calculate tallness of all lines; then run the page breaking algorithm. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
