engravers-one-by-one.ly

The notation problem, creating a certain symbol, is handled by plugins. Each plugin is called an Engraver. In this example, engravers are switched on one by one, in the following order:

- note heads

- staff symbol,

- clef,

- stem,

- beams, slurs, accents,

- accidentals, bar lines, time signature, and key signature.

Engravers are grouped. For example, note heads, slurs, beams etc. form a Voice context. Engravers for key, accidental, bar, etc. form a Staff context.

You may only see the first example in this document; please download this snippet and run it from your own computer.
