+1000 - this is awesome! As for now, i have added it to the snippets repo(https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/commit/4bb8a0456c42d5859cd6945b4213901785cfbd23), but please go ahead and add it to official lily! I think it is a feature important enough to warrant a new function. > As just one example: I’m going to use it in the musical theatre scores I’m > engraving right now, > to [evenly] space two columns of dialogue above a system of underscore music. Also, it will be perfect for aligning stanzas for songs. I have already used it in the openlilylib/snippets stanza template (which could be turned into a function, btw - didn't have time to do it myself, yet...): https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/blob/master/templates/adjustable-centered-stanzas/definitions.ily https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/commit/eeb8d075dff02d29f02316345774fd18c7a5c732 2014-02-09 12:53 GMT+01:00 Alexander Kobel <n...@a-kobel.de>: > The rationale for \fill-line IMHO is only to be used for one, two or three > arguments, which is the common case in headings.

I won't have time to follow this topic closely, but i support David's efforts! best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
