TextSpanner

TextSpanner objects are created by: Dynamic_engraver and Text_spanner_engraver

Standard settings:

stencil (unknown):

ly:text-spanner::print

The symbol to print.

Y-offset (number):

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

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

font-shape (symbol):

'italic

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

style (symbol):

'dashed-line

This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the stencil callback reading this property.

staff-padding (dimension, in staff space):

0.8

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.

dash-fraction (number):

0.2

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

dash-period (number):

3.0

the length of one dash + white space. If negative, no line is drawn at all.

side-axis (number):

1

If the value is #X (or equivalently 1), the object is placed horizontally next to the other object. If the value is #Y or 0, it is placed vertically.

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-spanner-interface, spanner-interface, side-position-interface, line-spanner-interface, font-interface and grob-interface
