Comments

The "move" operation in the rendering scripts (for example in stdchords.xml) for chordnames is not well defined. 2.x uses points which is wrong and gives different results for different platforms and in 3.x. We should change the unit for move offsets to spatium units in 3.x. Interpreting offsets as 1/5 spatium units works for the above test case without changing the xml scripts.
