Re: alignment: gjpqy chars in markup

[Mats Bengtsson]

Developers, it would be nice to get some clarification on the
alignment of different markups!


For some strange reason, the following seems to work.
\layout{raggedright=##t}
{ c'^\markup{"foo" \hspace #0.0 } c'^\markup{"bag" \hspace #0.0 } }

It's not at all clear to me how the alignment is handled here.
