Re: current whiteout mechanism is not perfect

[Karol Majewski]

Hi Janek. Here's a similar example:

upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  
  a4 b c d
  a b c d  
}

lower = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  
  a4 b c d^"w.."
  a b c d  
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano  "
    \new Staff = "upper" \upper
    \new Staff = "lower" \lower
  >>
  \layout {
    \override TextScript #'whiteout = ##t
 }
}
