Something I've been wondering about for awhile... lilypond.org
boasts of "optical spacing" for notes with alternating up and down
stems, but it seems this feature has been lost somewhere (or
disabled by default). In this example, it's quite plain to my eyes
that the stems are not equally spaced within the bars.
\version "2.18.2"
\relative c'' { e4 c, f' d, g' e, a' f, }
Which is correct -- the website, or LP's behavior?

James,
I would have to disagree with you. I think the notes look very
nicely spaced. I think you are misunderstanding what "optical
spacing" implies. It doesn't mean that the stems will be placed
equidistant from each other. That would look awful because of how
far that would push the noteheads out of place!
Equally spaced stems do look nice with groupings that change staff
constantly, however. I remember that SCORE had a feature that
enabled this. I've often thought that LilyPond should have this
option, but haven't studied the problem enough to know how it could
be implemented.

That's fair. I can imagine what that looks like, but do you happen to
have an example score that shows this? Not important if you don't.
