Re: ledger line crash with very high notes in first chord of system

Hi there,

That's right: the accidentals should be moved to the left to avoid collision with the ledger lines.

cheers,
Jeff

I presume you don't like the fact that the accidentals are within the ledger lines, rather like they are in staff lines.  What would you want?

Subject: ledger line crash with very high notes in first chord of system

I think I've found a default behavior that could use a little work:

When I make a chord that contains the interval of a major second or smaller, up high enough to warrant ledger lines, the ledger lines are lengthened, to accommodate the increased horizontal space needed to write this tiny interval legibly; however, if a third note requires an accidental, the accidental of this third note sometimes collides with these lengthened ledger lines. I've attached photos of some examples.

fyi,
Jeff
