Hi Tomohiro, I'm not quite sure I understand what your problem is, but you can set all these optical corrections to 0. Under http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals-big-page#notespacing you'll find the settings and their current defaults. You may also wish to look at scm/define-gro

Hello, thank you for your reply. Of course I can set the optical corrections to 0. I sent these issues to this mailing list because default correction seems a little odd (at least for me). I think fixing them might produce a slight (but valid) improvement on LilyPond's default spacing. As for f

I think it’s possible to respect someone’s hard work but provide feedback to make it even better. As the article shows, using Gourlay’s spacing algorithm has demonstrable limits in certain contexts involving polyrhythms.
