Re: beginning-of-measure padding value?

Hello, all --

> I hope you have seen the earlier followups in this email thread [...]

Fair enough, but it's a *lot* more work in recent versions to have a  
acceptable-looking score (with respect to initial measure spacing)  
than it was in previous versions.

For example, I've included a screenshot of untweaked Lilypond output  
for an instrumental part I cranked out yesterday -- you'll see that  
the initial spacing is totally unacceptable without a good deal of  
tweaking (the rests are almost completely swallowed by the key  
signature); in other parts of the score, it is nearly impossible to  
distinguish the barline from the left-hand side of the leading flat;  
etc.

Cheers,
Kieren.

p.s. Once the show opens (this weekend), and I have more time, I'll  
submit specific bug reports...
