Why? I don know the details of Lilypond's internals, but a "white-out" is a rather simple idea, isn't it?

What's hard is creating flexible blocking mechanisms for left-shifting objects. When collisions happen, there is no notion of elasticity - objects are not allowed to touch or they ignore each other. Here, we want something between - objects that can overlap but just by a little. We'd have to redo the spring and rod model at the core of LilyPond, which itself would a summer of lily (if not two or three!).

Aaah, I see... Thanks for the explanation. But as I understand, not everywhere springs and rods are used, e.g. beams collide with many objects and that's ok. If there is a place where I can read about springs and rods in Lilypond, just let me know instead of answering me.
