RE: Understanding spacers err.. spacing

[James Lowe]

Yes I saw that once I had spent far too long on this little experiment.

I guess I was trying to illustrate what I thought was an inconsistency or 
unexpected behaviour for the spacer as I often use this method to manually 
align things like hairpins for instance, or the odd dotted line  text spanner 
when I want it 'just so'.

Might I recommend looking in the index of Notation, and following
the index entry "fermata on multi-measure rest" ?  or
"multi-measure rest, attaching fermata" ?
