An auxiliary grob to handle (horizontal) spacing of grace notes. See also NoteSpacing, StaffSpacing, and SpacingSpanner.

Standard settings:

common-shortest-duration (moment):

grace-spacing::calc-shortest-duration

The most common shortest note length. This is used in spacing. Enlarging this sets the score tighter.

shortest-duration-space (number):

1.6

Start with this multiple of spacing-increment space for the shortest duration. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

spacing-increment (dimension, in staff space):

0.8

The unit of length for note-spacing. Typically, the width of a note head. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

This object supports the following interface(s): grace-spacing-interface, grob-interface, spacing-options-interface and spanner-interface.

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