TextSpanner

TextSpanner objects are created by: Dynamic_engraver and Text_spanner_engraver

Standard settings:

print-function (procedure):
Text_spanner::print

Function taking grob as argument, returning a Stencil object.

font-shape (symbol):
'italic

Select the shape of a font. Choices include upright, italic, caps.

style (symbol):
'dashed-line

This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the print-function that is reading this property.

staff-padding (dimension, in staff space):
0.1

Maintain this much space between reference points and the staff. Its effect is to align objects of differing sizes (like the dynamic p and f) on their baselines.

0.2

Size of the dashes, relative to dash-period. Should be between 0.0 (no line) and 1.0 (continuous line).

dash-period (number):

the length of one dash + white space. If negative, no line is drawn at all.

direction (direction):
1
