Comment #31 on issue 1691 by philehol...@googlemail.com: Ugly bars in PDF
documents
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1691
The 0.4\in comes from this:
QUOTE: r'''line-width = %(line-width)s - 2.0 * %(exampleindent)s''',
It's the value of exampleindent. It seems that the rationale is that if
you subtract 2* the indent from the linewidth, then you get a usable
linewidth. Given how close this is to correct, I was concluding the it's
essentially a rounding error, so that we should go with subtracting just
more than twice the indent from the linewidth.
I've attached my line length test file, together with the resulting output,
having reverted my update changing 2.0 to 2.05. As you see, you get black
bars for 2 perfectly reasonable bits of -book syntax. I believe this is a
bug in -book - it seems to me that, for music which wraps to more than one
system, -book will never produce acceptable output. As you say, that's
another bug.
This one is about the bars in _our_ docs. We/I now know how to take them
out, and in the situation where users adopt the [quote] option, how to help
users. Please comment, but I am pretty convinced that the change I'm
suggesting will improve our docs and -book generally.
