Can you try it (perhaps just the first couple of pages) with >annotate-spacing = ##t to check?

Also tried with similar results on 2.11.x. Hard to tell if y-extent-estimate is overshooting. In many cases properly respaced systems have the same margin of error as those that aren't. Judge for yourself. Two example pages with annotate-spacing added. The first is not respaced as expected, the second is. Other pages not included seem to vary wildly from these lengths. http://www.foxchange.com/spamguy/extentestimate.pdf will is the everyman ---------------------------------------------------------- _ | WILL ORAM ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | spamguy (at) foxchange . com - against HTML email X | wro1 (at) cwru . edu & vCards / \ | | AIM spamguy21 ---------------------------------------------------------- (ABOVE: Magnetic poetry #6) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
