I noticed that \spacingTweaks disappeared from the manuals in v2.23.
Looking through the commits, I find this by Jean:

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/commit/fcf9604b0322310a26818a3a3b3f820ffb329a60

It basically says that \spacingTweaks was unsed and undocumented,


The commit message might not have been clear enough. \spacingTweaks
was not just unused; I don't remove functions not used in LilyPond
itself for the sake of removing them (I add tests for them instead).
\spacingTweaks was just *broken*: there was no way it could work.


so
he removed it.  This is fine, except it *was* documented in v2.22
through v2.20 at least.  My questions are:


Where do you see that?


* should there be a mention on the Changes manual page that it's gone?

Possibly. I didn't think anybody would notice given it had no effect before.

* should there be a rule in python/convertrules.py at least putting a
"deprecated" in front of it, or issuing some sort of warning?


I don't think so, as it wasn't useful.

Jean
