Re: Where is \staff-space defined?

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Mike (et al.),

While you’re in the spacing world…  ;)

Is there any way that a function could give horizontal setting values (e.g., 
bound-padding) in terms of a rhythmic moment [in the current measure]? e.g.,

<pseudo-code>
    \override Hairpin.bound-padding = #’(length-of-moment 1/8)
</pseudo-code>

would give horizontal space equal to the width of an eighth note “right now, in 
this [part of the] measure”.

I imagine computing that would have to come after all other horizontal spacing 
was determined, and the layout set — and thus it might be impossible (or at the 
very least unfeasible) — but I thought I’d ask anyway.

Thanks,
Kieren.
