Comment #7 on issue 2783 by [email protected]: wrong placement of timesignature
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2783
please, please, I'm a user as well: centre-of-staff or line-nearest-to-centre-of-staff are both better defaults than 0 for me; and, besides being a user, I'm also a musician with about 30 years of experience. The staves I've seen can be described in terms of 'line-positions as (-4 -2 0 2 4) (normal staff) (-6 -4 -2 0 2 4) or (-4 -2 0 2 4 6) (normal staff extended temporarily instead of using ledger lines; six-line staves of 14th century Italian music) (-4 -2 0 2) or (-2 0 2 4) (four-line staves of plainchant) (-4 0 4) (modern music using inexact pitches) what I have never seen include (-3 -1 1 3) (-4 4) of course that doesn't mean they don't exist, but if anybody has data that they are more frequent than the ones above, please speak up. p
