Thanks.

As I checked this out in the docs 

   * padding: Bar numbers <cid:part1.09040708.04050203@ultrasw.com>

takes me to Bar Numbers.  Under BUGS there is a hyperlink "padding" 
which refers to padding/html but there is no padding.html on my 
installation which is:

LilyPond 1.6.4 which is the latest binary version  from Debian

I wonder if there should also be something under Vertical Spacing. 
That's where I looked.

Does that mean in the manual also?  I use the index and the manual mostly.
