Re: Extra space at the beginning of the bar

Hi Paolo,

Here are two options that avoid X-offset:

\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"

\score {
  \repeat unfold 12 { c'4 }
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \override BarLine.space-alist.first-note = #'(fixed-space . 12)
      \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(semi-fixed-space . 12.5)
    }
  }
}

{ \tweak NoteHead.extra-spacing-width #'(-12 . 0) c'4 4 4 4 }

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
