3.2.128 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 of the staff into account if staff-padding is set. If undefined, the staff symbol is ignored.

User-settable properties:

add-stem-support (boolean)

If set, the Stem object is included in this script’s support.

direction (direction)

If side-axis is 0 (or X), then this property determines whether the object is placed LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines whether the object is placed UP, CENTER or DOWN. Numerical values may also be used: UP=1, DOWN=-1, LEFT=-1, RIGHT=1, CENTER=0.

horizon-padding (number)

The amount to pad the axis along which a Skyline is built for the side-position-interface.

minimum-space (dimension, in staff space)

Minimum distance that the victim should move (after padding).

minimum-X-space (dimension, in staff space)

Minimum distance that the victim should move horizontally (after padding), overriding the minimum-space property value.

padding (dimension, in staff space)

Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.

side-axis (number)

If the value is X (or equivalently 0), the object is placed horizontally next to the other object. If the value is Y or 1, it is placed vertically.

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 dynamics p and f) on their baselines.

X-padding (dimension, in staff space)

Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other horizontally, overriding the padding property value.

Internal properties:

quantize-position (boolean)

If set, a vertical alignment is aligned to be within staff spaces.

side-support-elements (array of grobs)

The side support, an array of grobs.

This grob interface is used in the following graphical object(s): AccidentalSuggestion, Arpeggio, BarNumber, BassFigureAlignmentPositioning, CaesuraScript, CenteredBarNumberLineSpanner, ClefModifier, CodaMark, CombineTextScript, DoublePercentRepeatCounter, DynamicLineSpanner, Episema, Fingering, HorizontalBracket, HorizontalBracketText, InstrumentName, InstrumentSwitch, JumpScript, MeasureCounter, MeasureGrouping, MeasureSpanner, MetronomeMark, MultiMeasureRestNumber, MultiMeasureRestScript, MultiMeasureRestText, OttavaBracket, PercentRepeatCounter, RehearsalMark, Script, SectionLabel, SegnoMark, SostenutoPedalLineSpanner, StanzaNumber, StringNumber, StrokeFinger, SustainPedalLineSpanner, SystemStartBar, SystemStartBrace, SystemStartBracket, SystemStartSquare, TextMark, TextScript, TextSpanner, TrillPitchAccidental, TrillPitchGroup, TrillSpanner, UnaCordaPedalLineSpanner, VoltaBracket and VoltaBracketSpanner.
