Hi David (et al.),

I manually tweaked that function (see snippet, below), by adding an #:hspace
-1.25 and #:hspace -1 as “[negative] padding”. The default gives
while the tweaked version gives the far more pleasing
But I can’t seem to figure out how to add left-pad and right-pad as properties
(with default 0) — I keep getting “unbound variable” errors. If anyone could
help, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kieren.
