3.1.42 DotColumn

An auxiliary grob to align stacked Dots grobs of dotted notes and chords.

DotColumn objects are created by the following engraver(s): Dot_column_engraver and Vaticana_ligature_engraver.

Standard settings:

axes (list):

'(0)

List of axis numbers. In the case of alignment grobs, this should contain only one number.

chord-dots-limit (integer):

3

Limits the column of dots on each chord to the height of the chord plus chord-dots-limit staff positions.

direction (direction):

1

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.

padding (dimension, in staff space):

dot-column-interface::pad-by-one-dot-width

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

X-extent (pair of numbers):

ly:axis-group-interface::width

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

This object supports the following interface(s): axis-group-interface, dot-column-interface, grob-interface and item-interface.

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