The way the underlying data structure is built changes with each
release. So data used for one thing in an earlier version might be used
for something else in a later version and something else entirely in an
even later version.

Is it a bug or a feature that grace notes on ledger lines get more space
than grace notes on the staff?
It must be a feature since grace note is always notated as close to the
beat as possible. So there are no special note spacing in grace notes

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean by "an ordinary way" -- for me, at

Is it still customary when entering lyrics to use an apostrophe and

There are so many possible variants in English; that's why many editors
find it one of the most difficult languages to typeset properly-- so I
won't go into cases.
But using the apostrophe for these cases is still common-practice, not
archaic in the least. It's use is widely understood in what eve

Of course if there were such a plug-in, that would mean that there were
