3.1.29 ChordSquare

In a chord grid, this grob represents one chord square. It helps place GridChordName grobs, and draws lines to separate them. Note that this grob only draws the diagonal lines in a square. The borders of the square are drawn by StaffSymbol and BarLine.

ChordSquare objects are created by: Chord_square_engraver.

An alist mapping measure divisions (see the measure-division property) to lists of coordinates (number pairs) applied to the chord names of a chord square. Coordinates are normalized between -1 and 1 within the square.

'(((1))
  ((1/2 1/2) (-1 -1 1 1))
  ((1/2 1/4 1/4) (-1 -1 1 1) (0 0 1 -1))

  ((3/4 1/4) (0 0 1 -1) (0 0 1 1)))

An alist mapping measure divisions (see the measure-division property) to lists of lines to draw in the square, given as 4-element lists: (x-start y-start x-end y-end).

stencil (stencil):

chord-square::print

The symbol to print.

X-extent (pair of numbers):

chord-square::width

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

Y-extent (pair of numbers):

#<unpure-pure-container #<procedure chord-square::height (grob)> >

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

This object supports the following interface(s): chord-square-interface, grob-interface, line-interface and spanner-interface.

This object is of class Spanner (characterized by spanner-interface).
