Re: box-stencil (was: Drawing boxes around grobs)

Thanks to Torsten and Harm

Another issue seems to be in TextScript:

{

\override TextScript.stencil =
  #(make-stencil-boxer 0.1 0.3 ly:text-interface::print)

  c'4_"foo bar bar"
 
}

In 2.19.84, the box adds unwanted right padding, while 2.19.45 (Lilybin) doesn't.

Any feedback/fix/workaround? 

Thanks

Best,

P

Hello Paolo,

Yes, indeed, this is the crux with italic fonts… It's hard (to say the
least) to automatically determine whether or not the additional space
inserted after "mf" is needed. Even in hot-metal typesetting the typesetter
has to decide when to insert such an "italic correction".
