Re: Finetuning TextSpanner beginning and end positions?

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Stefano,

There are many threads in the archives about this inconsistency with text spanners. It's very confusing for users, nad ends up wasting lots of time. It would be great if this could be unified with the 'shorten' commands of other objects, but I realise the developers are hugely constrained for time and resources. Maybe one day.

Hi Harm, honestly because I generally understand "padding" as the amount of whitespace that should be reserved between objects. I never even noticed that property since in my mind I was looking for something that could in no way have something to do with it. Anyways, it's not the first time I find some of the Lilypond naming misleading, it's probably not going to be the last, but after you explained I can *kind of* see why it was named like that.
