side-position-interface

Position a victim object (this one) next to other objects (the support). The property direction signifies where to put the victim object relative to the support (left or right, up or down?)

The routine also takes the size the staff into account if staff-padding is set. If undefined, the staff symbol is ignored.

User settable properties:
direction (direction)
#UP or #DOWN, #LEFT or #RIGHT? (or a numerical value, #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0)
minimum-space (dimension, in staff space)
Minimum distance that the victim should move (after padding).
padding (dimension, in staff space)
Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.
side-axis (number)
Is this object horizontally or vertically next to another object?
side-relative-direction (direction)
Multiply direction of direction-source with this to get the direction of this object.
slur-padding (number)
Extra distance between slur and script.
staff-padding (dimension, in staff space)
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.
Internal properties:
direction-source (layout object)
in case side-relative-direction is set, which grob to get the direction from .
quantize-position (boolean)
If set, a vertical alignment is aligned to be within staff spaces.
side-support-elements (unknown)
the support, a list of grobs.

This grob interface is used in the following graphical objects: AccidentalSuggestion, AmbitusAccidental, Arpeggio, BarNumber, CombineTextScript, DoublePercentRepeatCounter, DynamicLineSpanner, Fingering, HorizontalBracket, InstrumentName, MeasureGrouping, MetronomeMark, MultiMeasureRestNumber, MultiMeasureRestText, OctavateEight, OttavaBracket, PercentRepeatCounter, RehearsalMark, Script, SostenutoPedalLineSpanner, StanzaNumber, StringNumber, SustainPedalLineSpanner, SystemStartBar, SystemStartBrace, SystemStartBracket, SystemStartSquare, TextScript, TextSpanner, TrillPitchAccidental, TrillPitchGroup, TrillSpanner, UnaCordaPedalLineSpanner and VoltaBracket
