Default stylesheet for the Wiki

Jean,

you've recently removed paper indentation settings from Rest styles, arguing that no indentation is the default for this Wiki. However, this snippet is part of the “official” documentation that doesn't set the indentation to zero by default...

I thus wonder whether it makes sense to synchronize the Wiki with the LilyPond documentation by not providing a default value for the indentation. Another reason to stay with LilyPond's default is that a novice user who tries to compile a snippet might be surprised that it looks differently. -- Lemzwerg (talk) 16:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm surprised. This page of the contributor's guide implies indent = 0 is the default in doc snippets. Is it out of date? What are the exact settings used to compile snippets in the docs? It's been too long since I had any idea how the doc build works, I can't find this in the repo right now… Jean Abou Samra (talk) 17:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I took the style settings used on the wiki right from the usage manual in the section that says "you have to effectively mimick how lilypond-book runs lilypond"… Jean Abou Samra (talk) 17:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

D'oh. You are correct. My mistake, my memory failed me, and of course I didn't check before writing :-)

Sorry for the noise -- Lemzwerg (talk) 17:22, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

cropped SVG images

Jean, please have a look at the image in Custodes – the mensural custodes in the fourth staff are cropped. If you download the SVG image and use a program like `inkview` you can see that the image actually contains the complete glyphs, however, the bounding box is too tight (an old LilyPond issue, as you certainly know).

Is there a possibility to increase the bounding boxes of all images (both horizontally and vertically) using a post-processing step so that cropping can be avoided? -- Lemzwerg (talk) 10:40, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Seems a bit overkill to me. I've added a simple workaround to that snippet. Jean Abou Samra (talk) 12:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
