Hi,
in the Documentation section about explicit vertical positioning, the
four examples have too many measures per line. This makes the lines
break in a funny way and garbles the examples quite a lot (see
http://tinyurl.com/expl-vert-spacing). Although I thought I knew a bit
about vertical spacing, it took me quite a while to connect the
pictures to the text while reading this section (actually, I had to
look at the code before it made sense). I suggest reducing the number
of measures from 6 to 5 per line so that there are no unintended line
breaks. Corresponding patches against master are attached (for the
English and Spanish version separately, in case the latter is somehow
automatically generated from the former).
Cheers,
Max
