Score_engraver

Top level engraver. Takes care of generating columns and the complete system (ie. System)

This engraver decides whether a column is breakable. The default is that a column is always breakable. However, when every Bar_engraver that does not have a barline at a certain point will call Score_engraver::forbid_breaks to stop linebreaks. In practice, this means that you can make a breakpoint by creating a barline (assuming that there are no beams or notes that prevent a breakpoint.)

Music types accepted: break-event

Properties (read)


currentCommandColumn (grob (GRaphical OBject))
Grob that is X-parent to all current breakable (clef, key signature, etc.) items.
currentMusicalColumn (grob (GRaphical OBject))
Grob that is X-parent to all non-breakable items (note heads, lyrics, etc.).
This engraver creates the following grobs: NonMusicalPaperColumn, PaperColumn and System.
