2.1.23 `NoteNames`

A context for printing the names of notes.

This context also accepts commands for the following context(s): Staff.

This context creates the following layout object(s): NoteName, StaffSpacing, Tie, TieColumn and VerticalAxisGroup.

This context sets the following properties:

Set grob property nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing in VerticalAxisGroup to :

'((basic-distance . 0)
  (minimum-distance . 2.8)
  (padding . 0.2)
  (stretchability . 0))

Set grob property nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing in VerticalAxisGroup to :
```
'((basic-distance . 5.5)
  (padding . 0.5)
  (stretchability . 1))
```
Set grob property nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding in VerticalAxisGroup to 1.5.
Set grob property staff-affinity in VerticalAxisGroup to 1.

This is a ‘Bottom’ context; no contexts will be created implicitly from it.

This context cannot contain other contexts.

This context is built from the following engraver(s):

Alteration_glyph_engraver

Set the glyph-name-alist of all grobs having the accidental-switch-interface to the value of the context’s alterationGlyphs property, when defined.

Properties (read)

alterationGlyphs (list): Alist mapping alterations to accidental glyphs. Alterations are given as exact numbers, e.g., -1/2 for flat. This applies to all grobs that can print accidentals.

Axis_group_engraver

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

Properties (read)

currentCommandColumn (graphical (layout) object): Grob that is X-parent to all current breakable items (clef, key signature, etc.).
hasAxisGroup (boolean): True if the current context is contained in an axis group.
keepAliveInterfaces (list): A list of symbols, signifying grob interfaces that are worth keeping a staff with remove-empty set around for.

Properties (write)

hasAxisGroup (boolean): True if the current context is contained in an axis group.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): VerticalAxisGroup.

Note_name_engraver

Print pitches as words.

Music types accepted: note-event

Properties (read)

noteNameFunction (procedure): Function used to convert pitches into strings and markups.
noteNameSeparator (string): String used to separate simultaneous NoteName objects.
printAccidentalNames (boolean or symbol): Print accidentals in the NoteNames context.
printNotesLanguage (string): Use a specific language in the NoteNames context.
printOctaveNames (boolean or symbol): Print octave marks in the NoteNames context.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): NoteName.

Separating_line_group_engraver

Generate objects for computing spacing parameters.

Properties (read)

createSpacing (boolean): Create StaffSpacing objects? Should be set for staves.

Properties (write)

hasStaffSpacing (boolean): True if currentCommandColumn contains items that will affect spacing.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): StaffSpacing.

Tie_engraver

Generate ties between note heads of equal pitch.

Music types accepted: tie-event

Properties (read)

skipTypesetting (boolean): If true, no typesetting is done, speeding up the interpretation phase. Useful for debugging large scores.
tieWaitForNote (boolean): If true, tied notes do not have to follow each other directly. This can be used for writing out arpeggios.

Properties (write)

tieMelismaBusy (boolean): Signal whether a tie is present.

This engraver creates the following layout object(s): Tie and TieColumn.
