Re: StaffSymbol: behaviour of ledger-line-thickness

[Trevor Daniels]

I have no inside information about this, but my reading of the description 
in the IR is that the thickness of the ledger line is determined as the sum 
of two parts:

ledger-line-thickness = the value of line-thickness * the first number + the 
value of staff-space * the second number.

The default value is line-thickness * 1.0 + staff-space * 0.1.  The staff 
spacing itself is not influenced by these numbers, but can be changed as the 
staff-space property of StaffSymbol (but this will also change the spacing 
of all staff lines, not just ledger lines).
