Score_engraver

Top level engraver. Takes care of generating columns and the complete system (ie. LineOfScore)

This engraver decides whether a column is breakable. The default is that a column is always breakable. However, when every Bar_engraver that does not have a barline at a certain point will call Score_engraver::forbid_breaks to stop linebreaks. In practice, this means that you can make a breakpoint by creating a barline (assuming that there are no beams or notes that prevent a breakpoint.)

Properties


currentMusicalColumn (grob (GRaphical OBject)):
Grob that is X-parent to all non-breakable items (note heads, lyrics, etc.).
currentCommandColumn (grob (GRaphical OBject)):
Grob that is X-parent to all current breakable (clef, key signature, etc.) items.
This engraver creates the following grobs: LineOfScore, NonMusicalPaperColumn and PaperColumn.

Score_engraver is part of contexts: Score
