This context creates the following grobs: LyricExtender, LyricHyphen, SeparatingGroupSpanner, SeparationItem, StanzaNumber and VerticalAxisGroup.

This context sets the following properties:

  • Set translator property phrasingPunctuation to .,:!?"
  • Set translator property verticalExtent to #f
  • Set translator property extraVerticalExtent to #f
  • Set translator property minimumVerticalExtent to '(-1.2 . 1.2)

This context is a `bottom' context; it can not contain other contexts.

This context is built from the following engravers:

Separating_line_group_engraver
Generates objects for computing spacing parameters.

Axis_group_engraver
Group all objects created in this context in a VerticalAxisGroup spanner.

Properties (read)


extraVerticalExtent (pair of numbers)
extra vertical extent, same format as MinimumVerticalExtent
minimumVerticalExtent (pair of numbers)
minimum vertical extent, same format as VerticalExtent
verticalExtent (pair of numbers)
hard coded vertical extent. The format is a pair of dimensions, for example, this sets the sizes of a staff to 10 (5+5) staffspaces high.
               property Staff.verticalExtent = #(-5.0 . 5.0)
               

VerticalExtent, MinimumVerticalExtent and ExtraVerticalExtent are predefined in all relevant contexts to #f, so they will not inherit values.

Note that these VerticalExtents can only operate on vertical groups, and therefore only work in contexts which contain an Axis_group_engraver.

This engraver creates the following grobs: VerticalAxisGroup.
