Grobs can be distinguished in their role in the horizontal spacing.
Many grobs define constraints on the spacing by their sizes. For
example, note heads, clefs, stems, and all other symbols with a fixed
shape. These grobs form a subtype called Item
.
Some items need special treatment for line breaking. For example, a clef is normally only printed at the start of a line (i.e. after a line break). To model this, `breakable' items (clef, key signature, bar lines, etc.) are copied twice. Then we have three versions of each breakable item: one version if there is no line break, one version that is printed before the line break (at the end of a system), one version that is printed after the line break.
Whether these versions are visible and take up space, is determined by
the outcome of the break-visibility
. This grob property is a
function taking a direction (-1, 0 or 1) as argument. It returns a
cons of booleans, signifying whether this grob should be transparent
and have no extent.
The following variables for break-visibility are predefined:
