Hi David, This is a very help description. Maybe you could describe for me: I see both the box duration as a spacer duration and the line duration as "extender length," in what seem to be unitless units. Here is an addition -- although I'm not sure if it's an improvement -- that might be importan

Hi Ming, I took another look at this and since there's only one key signature where the accidentals do not extend above the staff (F major / D minor) I just added extra padding for those keys. Now the key names always appear above the staff, regardless of the clef. The sizing of the acciden

Whoa -- It's marvelous to see such a detailed response to my question. Most importantly, frameEngraver4 works! I will study the differences between 3 and 4 to see what changed. As mentioned, it seems to me that the best course of action would be to make dynamic spanner creation a high developmen
