Re: vertical spacing of footnotes

[Valentin Petzel]

Ah sorry, I missread that ... stupid me!

Basically the functions that would need support are the primitives:

Stencil::add_stencil
Stencil::rotate_degrees_absolute (? is there even a meaningful way for doing 
this or should this just resort to stencil extent?)
Stencil::translate
Stencil::scale
Stencil::set_empty
Stencil::in_color

Also it would require functions to set and get the spacing extent of a 
stencil, as well as use of these functions for everything that should make use 
of such properties.

It should not be an insane amount of work to get this done. I suppose if this 
could significantly improve Lilyponds capabilities to work with text it might 
be worth it. Maybe I’ll find time to test this out this weekend.

Cheers,
Valentin
