Sorry, that was my bad phrasing (again). I understood perfectly well
what it was -- if it wasn't part of the time signature, the spacing
wouldn't have been altered as it was.

I will certainly try. :-)

No nastiness felt from this end, your response was not entirely
unexpected -- after all, as you say, you've put in a lot of effort to
generate this tool as it is. I'm very grateful for that, and a friendly
prod to put my ideas into practice myself is, as you say, good for me.
I do like to run my ideas past the list (I'm a novice member of the
LilyPond community, after all, and it's good to have comments), but if
the response is, 'Good idea, why don't you do it?' then that's a
pleasure, not a problem.
All the best,
