TextSpanner

TextSpanner objects are created by: Dynamic_engraver and Text_spanner_engraver

Standard settings:

Y-offset (number):
ly:side-position-interface::y-aligned-side

The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent

font-shape (symbol):
'italic

Select the shape of a font. Choices include upright, italic, caps.

style (symbol):
'dashed-line

This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the stencil callback reading this property.

staff-padding (dimension, in staff space):
0.8

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.

0.2

Size of the dashes, relative to dash-period. Should be between 0.0 (no line) and 1.0 (continuous line).

3.0

the length of one dash + white space. If negative, no line is drawn at all.

side-axis (number):
1

Is this object horizontally or vertically next to another object?

direction (direction):

#UP or #DOWN, #LEFT or #RIGHT? (or a numerical value, #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0)

This object supports the following interfaces: font-interface, side-position-interface, line-spanner-interface, text-spanner-interface, spanner-interface and grob-interface
