Re: offset not working

[Hans de Rijck]

Mats,

I've read that. It describes how it works, but not on what objects.

>From examples all over the manual one can extract some objects (Staff, Stem,
Voice) and some properties (skipBars, MetronomeMark, Stem etc) but there is
no list of all these. At least, I can't find one. It would be handy to have
such a list, so its easier to see what can be overridden.

thanks,

Hans.
