Re: Whiteout box function by Thomas Morley / need help

[Karol Majewski]

Harm,

this change is related to issue 621:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=621

Now, I do not accept this solution. It is simply against the rules. DynamicText 
shouldn't have influence on spacaing. Therefore I prefer whiteout.

So I use:

\context {
  \Staff
  \override DynamicText.extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)
}

Note that your previous function (the one that contains 
flexible-stencil-whiteout) works well with DynamiText. But the drawback is that 
it doesn't allow to set left and right X-extent.
