Visually, you'd rather want to center not on the "true" center, but on something like half the x-height above the baseline: one would not want different baselines for "Daisy" and "Joe". There is a complication that with all-caps word, the x-height is not the same: one centers "Violin" at a different height than "VIOLIN". > (Maybe another reason to shift the baseline to the center of the > ex-height?)

I am not overly enthused about downing extents for the purpose of getting baselines heeded. It's not really intuitive. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
