[JWplugins] Plug-in update: JW Accidentals v1.11

[Chuck Israels]

I am going to weigh in here with what is simply an opinion.  I’d like to see the combined chord symbol / bass note take less horizontal space by changing the angle of the slash to one that is more nearly (though not quite) horizontal and moving the chord symbol/bass note spacing closer together horizontally.  That’s how I would do it by hand.  The 45° slash spreads things further apart horizontally than I think is either necessary or practical, and it still takes up a lot of vertical space too.  Just my 2c.

I suppose a plugin would supply the slash as an expression and move the top and bottom parts closer together, because I think the distance with the slash is hardwired and can't be accessed.
