The new feature regarding parenthesizing as presented in NEWS.html
(2006-02-10, 8AM) exhibits two bugs.
. The vertical dimension of parentheses is apparently not included
in the calculation of the whole vertical size. In the image, the
lower part of the parentheses around the staccato dot are cropped.
Please check this -- it might also be a bug in ps2epsi (which I
recently reported to the ghostscript people), producing bounding
box values one pixel too small.
Yes, you're right. I should reconsider some design decisions, I guess.
. The horizontal dimension of parentheses are not taken into
account, making lilypond shift the sharp to the left. This makes
it quite difficult to notice the parentheses at all.
I know. This is a difficult problem, in that it is not clear when to
include the dimension of the parentheses and when not. For the case of
the note head, the stem attachment would be wrong if the parens were
included.
