Hi Harm,

> you don't provide any code ;)

Well, to be honest, I didn’t expect an actual [honest-to-goodness Lilypond 
code] fix: I thought the answer would either be “look at X snippet” or “can’t 
be done” or “this is issue Y”, or in the very best case scenario “one *could* 
create a ’kneed-spanner’ thingee, if one wanted to”…

I sometimes forget there are [amazing] people like you on this list, who might 
actually take it upon themselves to solve such a gargantuan problem as a first 
response.  =\

In the future, I’ll make it more explicit when I’m only looking [at first] for 
a quick “possible/impossible” answer.

> I really dislike inline-images.

Hmmm… I think that’s a problem with my mail application; I’ll look into it, and 
try to use only outline (?) attachments from now on.

HOLY MOLY! This is fabulous.
1. Yes, it appears (at least, from your snippet) to do exactly what I want; I 
will test it “in production", and report back ASAP.
2. Let me know (off-line, if desired) what a reasonable fee is for your work; 
I’ll definitely pay you something.

That’s fine by me, at least in the short term: I can do all of the tweaking in 
the edition-engraver (post-layout).

Well, if anyone else finds this idea worth pursuing/sponsoring, perhaps we can 
crowd-source your code into an awesome patch!?

Thanks again!
I’ll report back soon.

Cheers,
Kieren.
