But that's beside the point though right? :) I mean I couldn't ever envisage half the stuff that others seem to require before I joined the LilyPond dev lists. I guess the point here is if you have 2 points of reference it makes it more flexible to align than just 1 and then you have manually tweak it. for example if you had a square box and you wanted the tick inside it in 'naturally; (I'm using a silly example here) that you'd not want to align the bottom of the tick but the place where Werner was talking (i.e. the pit of the tick). james _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
