Property_engraver
This is a engraver that converts property settings into back-end grob-property settings. Example: Voice.stemLength will set #'length in all Stem objects.
Due to CPU and memory requirements, the use of this engraver is deprecated.
Properties
Generic_property_list (list):- description of the conversion.
Defines names and types for generic properties. These are properties
than can be plugged into the backend directly. See the init file
generic-property.scm for details. For internal use only,

Properties
VerticalExtent (pair of numbers):- hard coded vertical extent.
The format is a pair of dimensions, for example, this sets the sizes
of a staff to 10 (5+5) staffspaces high.
property Staff.VerticalExtent = #(-5.0 . 5.0)
VerticalExtent, MinimumVerticalExtent and ExtraVerticalExtent are
predefined in all relevant contexts to #f, so they will not
inherit values.
Note that these VerticalExtents can only operate on vertical groups,
and therefore only work in contexts which contain an
Axis_group_engraver.
MinimumVerticalExtent (pair of numbers):- minimum vertical extent, same format as VerticalExtent
ExtraVerticalExtent (pair of numbers):- extra vertical extent, same format as MinimumVerticalExtent
This engraver creates the following grobs:
VerticalAxisGroup.
VerticalExtent (pair of numbers):property Staff.VerticalExtent = #(-5.0 . 5.0)

predefined in all relevant contexts to #f, so they will not
inherit values.
