Hello, thank you for your reply.
Of course I can set the optical corrections to 0. I sent these issues to this mailing list because default correction seems a little odd (at least for me). I think fixing them might produce a slight (but valid) improvement on LilyPond's default spacing. As for first issue, I can understand that `f d` does not need so much space between notes as `f f`, as `d` does not collide with the stem of `f`. But what I cannot understand is that `f a` or `f b` needs more space than `f f` or `f g` (assume all notes are \stemUp'd). I suppose they should be given same spacing as `f f` or `f g`. For second, I think the better output is where the red and the green (in the picture attached) for each pair are equally spaced (I mean *exactly 1:1*), as they have the same interval and nothing prevents from they being spaced equally. Both issues can be resolved if I \override corrections to 0, but I really love LilyPond's philosophy of optical spacing. I sent them as proposals of making spacing better. Any ideas?
