Re: Force text on line without using \textLengthOn

Hi Urs,

Sorry I didn’t get in on this thread earlier — too much going on!

Not sure if these functions are helpful to you, but I use these to create 
markups that bypass the horizontal and/or vertical spacing algorithm(s):

ignoreH =
   \propertyTweak horizontal-skylines ##f
   \propertyTweak extra-spacing-width #empty-interval
   \etc

ignoreV =
   \propertyTweak vertical-skylines ##f
   \propertyTweak extra-spacing-height #empty-interval
   \etc

ignore = \ignoreH \ignoreV \etc

Just in case they’re helpful!
Kieren.
