Comment #6 on issue 2143 by janek.li...@gmail.com: accidental arrangement should depend on tightness of music
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2143
Ok, i agree that aligning vertically sharps in sixth doesn't look good; especially in Lily engraving (sharps from Feta font are bigger than the ones in that engraved example).
Thanks for the alternative engraving example, Keith. I attach a comparison of these two engraving - notice that the example with staggered accidentals takes 48% more horizontal space! That's a huge difference.
As for aligning octaves vs. not aligning them, i agree - let's keep this out of discussion at the moment.
Concerning flats in sixths, i'm puzzled by the rule that they shouldn't be aligned. I'd say that we can keep them staggered when there's plenty of space, but in tight situations i can't see how we can keep them staggered.
I attach my revised thoughts on the subject. Attachments: comparison.png 113 KB suggested output2.png 65.6 KB _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
