Re: Position of text and symbol above note
Hi Frederico, the last string in this example is slightly upper, do you know why? This is related to the feature I’ve been requesting for years — and which I reiterated just a few days ago (http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/baseline-referenced-text-markups-tp157452p157511.html). For some typographically-inexplicable reason, Lilypond does not use the text baseline as the reference point. Hence, because “dal al” has no descenders and “poi segue” does, they are not aligned correctly. Hope this helps (?).

Hi David, do you mean without streching? You can set the width of the StaffSymbol to a fixed one.

How to align object with far right edge of all kinds of barline?
I want to print a graphical object in the right margin that _just touches_ the far right edge of the barline at the end of the staff line. I have been experimenting with a postscript object included in a \mark \markup { } expression as a RehearsalMark, with an adjustment of the break alignment visibility. Vertical placement is not a problem, but I haven’t succeeded in achieving precise horizontal placement that works for all kinds of barline. The appearance is OK when the final barline on the line is a single barline, but when there is a double or thin + thick barline, the object overlaps with the barline. It appears that the default left alignment is to the _centre_ of the overall barline width rather than to the _right edge_ of it. Having to fix the horizontal placement separately for each kind of barline would work, of course, but would be a pain in the butt, and may not work for all staff sizes. I would prefer to find a general solution (including a fixed horizontal spacing adjustment, if necessary) that works for _all_ kinds of barline. It seemed to me that a solution that relies on the far right edge of the barline ought to work, but I haven’t found any way of doing that from my reading of the manuals. Another possibility might be to align the object with the far right edge of the staff itself (rather than of the barline at the end of the line) but I have not found a way of doing that either. Any suggestions as to how to go about looking for a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Rest skipped in MIDI when music starts with it
My hack around this is to begin (each part) with some arbitrary pitch/duration at _zero_ Velocity (with the Rest just following, of course). This has suited my purposes, though I expect it might invite trouble for others.

page margins
Hi, what is the reason that the default margins are so small? They are (top/botton, left/right | inner/outer in mm): 5/6, 10/10 | 10/20 If I compare to printed scores, they are usually larger: Edition Peters: 10/12, 17/17 Boosey Hawkes: 11/24, 14/14 I understand the goal to save space for the music content. But there are some drawbacks: - most printers cannot print so close to the paper edge (especially top/bottom) - this either cuts into the printed page content - or requires to scale the content while printing - it looks too squeezed (cf. the simple example below) - it is non-standard compared to most publishers In addition the top-markup-spacing is 0 which makes the title look very squashed to the top. I would prefer something around 4 or 5 mm (or one text line height). I see that this has been discussed before in 2009: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/default-margins-tp44740p44741.html with margin measurments for many publishers but without a visible conclusion for Lilypond. There is now (or some time ago) a Mutopia discussion whether larger margins should be enforced or not: https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/issues/141 but I think if LilyPond delivered printable default settings, this would be the best solution. I have no reference book on this at hand, but my proposal is: 10/15 15/15 | 10/20 and a top-markup-spacing basic-distance of about 4\mm. Could this be added to the issue tracker?

2014/1/13 Noeck noeck.marb...@gmx.de: Hi, what is the reason that the default margins are so small? Someone should do 'git blame' to see the commit that did this. ..actually, judging by the link you provided (http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/default-margins-tp44740p44741.html) the reason was probably to have line-width the same as in music published by respected publishers, which uses *different* paper size. They are (top/botton, left/right | inner/outer in mm): 5/6, 10/10 | 10/20 If I compare to printed scores, they are usually larger: Edition Peters: 10/12, 17/17 Boosey Hawkes: 11/24, 14/14 I understand the goal to save space for the music content.

Top/bottom are more tricky because you *want* to allow the page to compress when there's really a lot of content; so the adjustment should be done using compressible top-markup-spacing and the like. Keep in mind that the tagline is present on just one page, and the bottom whitespace area is quite different from bottom-margin because of tagline. Could this be added to the issue tracker? Let's first have an agreed-upon proposal. I suggest the following way forward: let's discuss horizontal margins separately from vertical ones. It should be a no-brainer to increase horizontal margins at least to 12 mm (although 15 seems indeed quite ok for me). Depending on how long it would take Kieren to get to this (2 weeks or 2 months?) we should or should not wait for him. Since we've just released 2.18, there should be no problem in making decisions quite swiftly.
