Re: Does the center of the staff need to be zero?

As far as I can see there is no strict need, fot it to be zero, so if
you have a sensible patch to change it, go ahead and post it.


BTW I know that you have an interesting patch for Lily to make line
configurations more flexible. I'll try to review it this week.
