Very often 0.0 isn't the default value.

If no property to control this is mentioned in the documentation, then probably you have to either write a cheme function doing this, or modify Lily code itself so this option would become available. Could you please write a feature request describing what you'd like LilyPond to do in detail (with examples from some published scores if possible) and send it to bug-lilyp...@gnu.org? Hopefully someone would implement this, but i don't have any idea when. Or if you know some c++ go ahead and add it yourself! Contributor's Guide (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/index.html) tells you how to start. If you need any help, ask :) cheers, Janek
