Comment #3 on issue 2574 by address@hidden: Footnote on first time  
signature gets mark but no footnote text
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2574

Did some snooping.

1)  In System::get_footnote_grobs_in_range, there is a variable  
end_of_line_visible that is currently vestigial so far as I can tell.  We  
should look at footnote regtests to make sure that things are functioning  
correctly - this looks like the sorta thing that functioned in the past but  
that I forgot to remove from the code.  However, before deleting it for  
good, it'd be good to know if all regtests are functioning correctly.
2)  For a time signature at the beginning of the line, there are currently  
two FootnoteItem grobs created.  I have no clue why, as only one  
FootnoteItem is created at timestamp 0 in the engraver.  The place to look  
may be Item::copy_breakable_items to see if this is called twice and, if  
so, why and by whom.
