minor comments

[edit]
  • In the preview of the image here, there is a grey dashed line around the image. This could be due to the white background layer being slightly smaller than the SVG page.
  • A greatly enlarged sharp sign shows a slight curve in the lower cross bar.

BTW, I discovered the "dots" layer — very smart idea.

Yeah, the white layer is about 5 pixels shy of the image boundary IIRC. Just happened so, no particular motivation to do that. If it bothers you, feel free to fix it. The paths making those sharps come straight from a musical symbol font on my main machine, used in my favorite score editor before I discovered lilypond. All the text in the image has been converted to paths, as you've seen, to avoid dependence on local font availability. I used Garamond and NWC15.
When I'm editing the image, I change the alignment dots to some bright saturated opaque color or other for easier selection. I save the image with that layer locked and hidden, with the dots some pale color like #00ffff0f (no red, all green, all blue, slight alpha or opacity) in case the image rendering shows hidden layers. Erroneously, I might add. It's happened... __Just plain Bill (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
