SpacingSpanner

SpacingSpanner objects are created by: Spacing_engraver

Standard settings:

spacing-procedure (procedure):
Spacing_spanner::set_springs

Procedure for calculating spacing parameters. The routine is called after before-line-breaking-callback.

grace-space-factor (number):
0.6

Space grace notes at this fraction of the spacing-increment.

shortest-duration-space (dimension, in staff space):
2.0

Start with this much space for the shortest duration. This is expressed in spacing-increment as unit. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

spacing-increment (number):
1.2

Add this much space for a doubled duration. Typically, the width of a note head. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

base-shortest-duration (moment):
'#<Mom 1/8>

Spacing is based on the shortest notes in a piece. Normally, pieces are spaced as if notes at least as short as this are present.

This object supports the following interfaces: spanner-interface, spacing-spanner-interface, spacing-interface and grob-interface
