beatStructure (list)

A sequence describing the length of each beat in the measure in units of beatBase.

subdivideBeams (boolean)

If set, beams of mulitple stems may be subdivided by omitting a number of beamlets, dependent on maximumBeamSubdivisionInterval, between beats at mulitiples of minimumBeamSubdivisionInterval.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): Beam.

Grob_pq_engraver

Administrate when certain grobs (e.g., note heads) stop playing.

Properties (read)

busyGrobs (list)

Properties (write)

busyGrobs (list)

A queue of (end-moment . grob) cons cells. This is for internal (C++) use only. This property contains the grobs which are still busy (e.g., note heads, spanners, etc.).

Note_heads_engraver

Generate note heads.

Music types accepted: note-event

staffLineLayoutFunction (procedure)

Layout of staff lines, traditional, or semitone.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): NoteHead.

Pitch_squash_engraver

Set the vertical position of note heads to squashedPosition, if that property is set. This can be used to make a single-line staff demonstrating the rhythm of a melody.

Properties (read)

squashedPosition (integer)
