AmbitusAccidental objects are created by the following engraver(s): Ambitus_engraver.

Standard settings:

glyph-name (string):

accidental-interface::calc-glyph-name

The glyph name within the font.

In the context of (span) bar lines or clefs, glyph-name represents a processed form of glyph, where decisions about line breaking, etc., are already taken.

stencil (stencil):

ly:accidental-interface::print

The symbol to print.

X-offset (number):

ly:grob::x-parent-positioning

The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent.

Note that many objects have special positioning considerations, which cause any setting of X-offset to be ignored or modified, even though the object supports the self-alignment-interface.

Y-extent (pair of numbers):

#<unpure-pure-container ly:accidental-interface::height >

Extent (size) in the Y direction, measured in staff-space units, relative to object’s reference point.

This object supports the following interface(s): accidental-interface, accidental-switch-interface, break-aligned-interface, font-interface, grob-interface and item-interface.

This object is of class Item (characterized by item-interface).
