side-position-interface

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

direction (direction)

up or down, left or right?.

direction-source (grob (GRaphical OBject))

in case side-relative-direction is set, which grob to get the direction from .

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-relative-direction (direction)

if set: get the direction from a different object, and multiply by this.

side-support-elements (list of grobs)

the support, a list of grobs.

staff-padding (dimension, in staff space)

Maintain this much space to the staff. It's effect is similar to the padding mechanism, but this will keep objects above and below the staff in a row more often, when the heights of the notes vary.
