Axis_group_engraver
Group all objects created in this context in a VerticalAxisGroup spanner.
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.
