Hi, all!

The horizontal placing of breathing signs in Gregorian Chant is anyway somewhat broken. Looking e.g. at the "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus" example in "2.8.4 Typesetting Gregorian chant", the distance for the second divisio minima (after the second "Sanctus") is fine, while the distance for the other two divisiones minimae is too wide.

I suggest the following: If removing the extra-X-extent from gregorian-init.ly does not increase the distance between the breathing sign and the preceding note (particularly the distance after the second "Sanctus"), then please remove it without replacement, since the minimum distance looks ok and the other bad distances can not be fixed by a constant extra extent anyway. For double-checking, you should also ensure that removing the extra X extent has no visible impact on the "Salve, Regina" example at the beginning of chapter 2.8.

Many thanks & greetings,
Juergen

Hello,

After looking through source, I can't find a spot where
'extra-X-extent and 'extra-Y-extent are recognized, yet they are
documented in the grob interface and an 'extra-X-extent override is
used six times in ly/gregorian.ly.

If they are no longer functional, should a convert-ly rule be added for them?

Do 'minimum-X-extent and 'minimum-Y-extent replace these old
properties?  If not, which overrides should be used instead for
\virgula, \caesura, etc. in ly/gregorian.ly?

Thanks,
Patrick
