I was never suggesting to pad individual objects. The horizontal padding would need to be applied to the skyline of the whole _system_, not the skyline of individual objects while the system is being assembled. > In the example that opened the issue, I think it is the fact that the > notes are logically unrelated that makes their interleaving so > objectionable.

But that affects the vertical spacing of _any_ system, not just systems with interleaving parts. I am afraid that you are trying to evaluate my proposal by tweaking existing knobs. The existing knobs are no use for a reasonable automatic resolution of the problem. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
