Re: Spacing bug in 2.8.2?

Well, a *related* problem and its solution is described there...  ;-)

However, in general I have felt that beginning- and end-of-measure  
spacing has altered dramatically (not for the better) in the past  
version or so -- you may remember several postings (by me and others)  
on this issue.

For example, I now find that:

    1. nearly *every* "carry-over" slur and tie essentially  
disappears (n.b., this behavior is seen in Shamus's example as well);
    2. accidentals, arpeggios, etc., attached to a measure's first  
note are almost always within only a few points of the bar line  
itself (and in some cases actually *touch* the bar line!);
    3. noteheads themselves sometimes (but much less often than  
other Objects) seem too close to the bar line (leading and trailing).

None of these were a problem a few versions ago -- I would really  
love to know what has happened to effect this change, and where the  
spacing code is located so I could revert this.

Alas, nobody seems to have the answer!  =)

Best regards,
Kieren.
