Re: Score.skipTypesetting

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi Barry,

 thanks for the answer. I might have been unclear:

In a chamber music piece I'm writing, the first line of the score is
(and should be) indented.

While working on the score I want to typeset just the last part of the
score and use

Score.skipTypesetting = ##f

in the beginning and set

Score.skipTypesetting = ##t

in some later part, e.g. after a \pageBreak.

lilypond renders this partial score with the first line indented which
is suboptimal as the beginning of this page will *not* get indented in
the final (non partial) score.

I was just proposing to fix that in case it's not very
complicated. But as this is not a bug and I can circumvent this easily
by setting the indentation to #0 when rendering partial scores I don't
really want to start a bikeshed...
