Re: Space on the left end of each line

Have you thought about adding this value to the 'X-extent of the  
first note? e.g.,
    \once \override NoteColumn #'X-extent = #'(-20 . 1)

It's not ideal (there'll be a lot of manual tweaking required), but  
it would work (I think...).

Hope this helps,
Kieren.
