Spacing bug (Beta 2.21) after Special Ending

Using a 300dpi printer, space from bar to note is 36 pixels with Special Ending, 52 pixels without. Same problem in NWC 1.75b
IMO, presence/absence of Special Ending should not change the distance from bar to note. I am not looking for a workaround.

That's weird. A special ending is an object added to the staff, and if anything, you would expect it to add spaces, not subtract them.

What may be happening here (just a guess) is that NWC sets the distance from the special ending object to the note, and then during printing it moves the special ending back so that it sits properly over the barline - bringing the note with it.

In any event, it is clearly a bug.

Maybe when the Special Ending is made to continue all the way to the Master Repeat Close the spacing will be corrected also???
