Hi Andrew (and hi Valentin, nice to see you on the list again!),
I'm with you in the animating spirit of your observations about spacing
(especially horizontal spacing). Proportional spacing (which I helped
Han-Wen scope when he implemented it more than a decade ago) is very

That separate question
Hi Valentin,
I was led to muse just today that almost all the recent questions on
lilypond are about spacing and tweaking positions of some sort or other.
