Comment #9 on issue 3761 by address@hidden: LeftEdge no longer takes  
up space
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3761

LeftEdge is a lot like Mike's "stub" objects in that it is invisible but  
affects spacing.  SpanBarStubs were introduced with issue 1846, which fixed  
the issue 910 Mike mentions but caused some frustration
(https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=1&q=%221846%22)

The invisible LeftEdge object is placed above the System at its left edge.   
Raising its Y-extent to '(1 . 1) makes no difference because it just moves  
back down until its extent rests on the box around the System.  LeftEdge  
seems to keep out of the way of everything else, but invisible things there  
have caused frustration in the past.

It would be good if we could suggest a simpler more robust way (certainly  
not one involving the Pure_from_neighbor_engraver) to get the effect  
desired in the original bug-report.

Maybe we should simply say "use the workaround" if we don't want LeftEdge  
to take up space by default.
