I misread your G clef comment the first time I read it. The G clef is correct, if you change your interpretation a bit. It confused me for quite a while also. The documentation needs to be improved, but I haven't figured out exactly how. The G-clef is centered around the G note. The center of

Here's my patch for the bar line. The ledgers definitely need some work for staffs which are not centered at zero. >From ca021c722d6f74690d189c99eff0ccefe420a3b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Dalley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2007 09:30:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Draw bar lines c

As far as I can see there is no strict need, fot it to be zero, so if you have a sensible patch to change it, go ahead and post it. BTW I know that you have an interesting patch for Lily to make line configurations more flexible. I'll try to review it this week. regards, Han-Wen 2007/3/15, K
