Re: Leger line widths for grace notes

Hi Joe,

It is indeed intended that the value should scale according to the size of 
the notehead, but the spec doesn't make that clear. I've added issue #70 
to add some clarifying language to the spec for this case. I will also 
have a think about whether any of the other engravingDefaults values need 
similar clarification.

Subject:        Leger line widths for grace notes



Hi Daniel,

What is the spec's intent for the interpretation of legerLineExtension 
("The amount by which a leger line whould extend either side of a 
notehead") for grace or cue notes? Is it expected that this value would be 
proportionally adjusted to reflect any scale factor applied to the note 
heads? I didn't find any explicit language to that effect.

Using the same leger line extension value on grace notes as for normal 
size notes, at least in some fonts, results in a somewhat weird looking 
appearance with an oversize leger line.
