Re: Odd output

Please reply to the user group as well.

As is often pointed out, it's free software and the fixes depend on who is 
working for nothing on the code.

I wouldn't think it would crop up frequently.

I made a workaround with a combination of forcing the accidentals to be 
displayed, and then using force-hshift and extra-offset and a few other 
tweaks to make it work.

My example is pretty complicated, because I also autogenerate the code, but 
you're welcome to a copy if you want.
