Comment #48 on issue 2783 by [email protected]: wrong placement of timesignature
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2783
my aim with that patch series was just that: find and fix all cases where line_count was used for something else. and there are places where I replaced without thinking too much. in particular, there were checks which I translated into interval containment checks, but computed that interval quite mechanically, by widening or shrinking staff_span by 1. now I don't expect these cases emerging as regressions, but there's the possibility that taking other line positions into account may be better for staves like (-5 -2 1 4) that seem useful for me as drum staves. my first thought on reading this was to check whether any use remains, and if not, remove line_count. now I think that, instead of removing, putting a big comment "use this strictly for counting lines of the staff; for other purposes consider on_line, line_span or line_positions" would be better. now rest.cc still has a valid use of line_count, but the comment may still be useful. p
