-@section Fixing overlapping notation
-
-This may come as a surprise, but LilyPond isn't perfect. Some notation
-elements can overlap. This is unfortunate, but (in most cases) is easily
-solved.
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
-e4^\markup{ \italic ritenuto } g b e
-@end lilypond
-
-@cindex padding
-
-The easiest solution is to increase the distance between the object
-(in this case text, but it could easily be fingerings or dynamics
-instead) and the note. In LilyPond, this is called the
-@code{padding} property. For most objects, it is around 1.0 or
-less (it varies with each object). We want to increase it, so let's
-try 1.5
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
-\once \override TextScript #'padding = #1.5
-e4^\markup{ \italic ritenuto } g b e
-@end lilypond
-
-That looks better, but it isn't quite big enough. After experimenting
-with a few values, we think 2.3 is the best number in this case. However,
-this number is merely the result of experimentation and my personal
-taste in notation. Try the above example with 2.3... but also try higher
-(and lower) numbers. Which do you think looks the best?
-
-@cindex extra-offset
-
-Another solution gives us complete control over placing the object -- we
-can move it horizontally or vertically. This is done with the
-@code{extra-offset} property. It is slightly more complicated and can
-cause other problems. When we move objects with @code{extra-offset},
-the movement is done after LilyPond has placed all other objects. This means
-that the result can overlap with other objects.
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
-\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( 1.0 . -1.0 )
-e4^\markup{ \italic ritenuto } g b e
-@end lilypond
-
-With @code{extra-offset}, the first number controls the horizontal
-movement (left is negative); the second number controls the vertial
-movement (up is positive). After a bit of experimenting, we decided
-that these values look good
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
-\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -1.6 . 1.0 )
-e4^\markup{ \italic ritenuto } g b e
-@end lilypond
-
-@noindent
-Again, these numbers are simply the result of a few experiments and
-looking at the output. You might prefer the text to be slightly higher,
-or to the left, or whatever. Try it and look at the result!
