Re: Minimum padding after barlines for notes with accidentals?

[Markus Schneider]

Hello Rick, hello Kieren,

have a look - this might actually work with acceptable editing effort.
It's _almost_ fully automated. You only have to know your total amount of
bars. Of course, if the time-signature changes, this must be adjusted in the
accidentalSpacer variable also.

Cheers,
Markus
