Re: Controlling bar to note spacing on final measure

Hi Matthew,

If I understand correctly, all of the BarLine spacing-alist parameters control 
spacing *after* the barline.

Well, as always, there are lots of different ways to clothe this particular cat…

1. spacers (as you’ve done)

2. increase the BarLine.extra-spacing-width [backwards]

3. increase the NoteHead.extra-spacing-width [forwards]

4. apply Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.padding

etc.

Each has pros and cons.
Ultimately, I prefer something other than adding a spacer… but YMMV.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
