OttavaBracket

OttavaBracket objects are created by: Ottava_spanner_engraver

Standard settings:

Y-offset (number):

ly:side-position-interface::y-aligned-side

The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent

stencil (unknown):

ly:ottava-bracket::print

The symbol to print.

font-shape (symbol):

'italic

Select the shape of a font. Choices include upright, italic, caps.

shorten-pair (pair of numbers):

'(0.0 . -0.6)

The lengths to shorten a text-spanner on both sides, for example a pedal bracket. Positive values shorten the text-spanner, while negative values lengthen it.

staff-padding (dimension, in staff space):

1.0

Maintain this much space between reference points and the staff. Its effect is to align objects of differing sizes (like the dynamic p and f) on their baselines.

padding (dimension, in staff space):

0.5

Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.

minimum-length (dimension, in staff space):

1.0

Try to make a spanner at least this long. This requires an appropriate callback for the springs-and-rods property.

dash-fraction (number):

0.3

Size of the dashes, relative to dash-period. Should be between 0.0 (no line) and 1.0 (continuous line).

edge-height (pair):

'(0 . 1.2)

A pair of number specifying the heights of the vertical edges '(left-height . right-height).

direction (direction):

1

If side-position is 1 (#X), then this property determines if the object is placed #LEFT, #CENTER or #RIGHT with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines if the object is placed #UP #CENTER or #DOWN. Numerical values may also be used. #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0 but also other numerical values are permitted.

This object supports the following interfaces: text-interface, spanner-interface, side-position-interface, ottava-bracket-interface, line-interface, horizontal-bracket-interface, font-interface and grob-interface
