Elements are dumped into the SVG file in the order they occur in the page stencil, and (almost) every one is independently positioned as well. Some of the related stencils are dumped consecutively (e.g. the horizontal StaffSymbol lines), but I imagine this would require some postprocess optimization, which is an interesting feature request. I'll add this to the wiki. > Anyway, thanks again for your excellent work on this. I'm happy to be working on it, and I'm glad you appreciate it.
