Re: ledger line crash with very high notes in first chord of system

[Jeffrey Trevino]

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your report and your suggested override. I'll give it a shot; in the meantime, I've gone for a popular contemporary music workaround: the addition of a third staff with an octave treble clef, to eliminate the ledger lines. (hence my post about changing staffs for the notes of a chord...)

cheers,
Jeff

Yes, the ledger lines are discontinuous, so they hide the accidental much more
than staff lines would.
I added a bug report <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3141>

Probably this can be fixed, when someone is able to spend the time.  An
example of this situation in a printed score from some respected engraver
would be help to get the spacing right.

Until then, I can't think of a clear work-around, except telling LilyPond
to treat the stem as if it were wider, nearly as wide as the ledgers
 \once\override Stem #'minimum-X-extent = #'(-1.2 . 0)
