Re: Fonts included in all lilypond-book snippets

[Mats Bengtsson]

Then you have found yet another reason not to use the extra-offset
property. In general, LilyPond does not take extra-offset into account
when it handles collisions and apparently not when it calculates the
bounding boxes either. Better methods to obtain the same result are
described in a generic way in the section on "Vertical spacing inside
a system". The details for the case of ChordName or Lyrics contexts
can be found in the mailing list archives.
