Hi Janek, I loved to read this long mail. I would like to see the first half of it in the notation reference. Things like the reference point, X- and Y-offsets and X- and Y-extents should be explained, because users need this knowledge for any shifts. As far as I can see this is not explained in the NR, but this section the user is expected to know it already: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects I would be interested in the reference point for various additional objects, e.g. dynamics, as an extension to your "repoint example.png". I did not know for example, that it is on the left for note heads. Scheme functions like ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self, I would consider for the extension manual. Thanks a lot for this! Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
