Re: Adding a little horz. space between 2 bumping notes

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi, Rick:

I would use something like
        varVoiceMelody = \relative c''
        {
		r8 \once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #3 c4 c8 c' c r  
c |
        }

[n.b. This padding (3) is exaggerated for effect/example -- probably  
ca. 1 would be sufficient...]

This way, you're not adding extra content (i.e., a Fingering element)  
just for the sake of presentation (i.e., a layout tweak).

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
