Fwd: Re: Ragged right for contents but not staff?

[Matthias Hüsken]

Dear all,

I know this thread is ancient, but I am only now in the process of 
upgrading from Lilypond 2.12.2 to 2.18, and I used the attached function 
alignGrob quite heavily. Unfortunately, it does not work in 2.18 any 
more, and I do not know enough about the Lilypond internals (and about 
scheme) to fix it myself. Here is what happens if I try to compile the 
attached file from David:

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Hi, Wilbert --

Since you found a use for that function, I thought I'd post a newer
version with some improvements (including suggestions from Gilles
Thibault).

Best,
David
