3.1.55 Flag

A flag (in the musical sense).

Flag objects are created by the following engraver(s): Stem_engraver.

Standard settings:

color (color):

#<procedure at lily/output-lib.scm:1688:0 (grob)>

The color of this grob.

glyph-name (string):

ly:flag::glyph-name

The glyph name within the font.

In the context of (span) bar lines or clefs, glyph-name represents a processed form of glyph, where decisions about line breaking, etc., are already taken.

stencil (stencil):

ly:flag::print

The symbol to print.

transparent (boolean):

#<procedure at lily/output-lib.scm:1688:0 (grob)>

This makes the grob invisible.

vertical-skylines (pair of skylines):

#<unpure-pure-container #<procedure ly:grob::vertical-skylines-from-stencil (_)> >

Two skylines, one above and one below this grob.

X-extent (pair of numbers):

ly:flag::width

Extent (size) in the X direction, measured in staff-space units, relative to object’s reference point.

X-offset (number):

ly:flag::calc-x-offset

The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent.

Note that many objects have special positioning considerations, which cause any setting of X-offset to be ignored or modified, even though the object supports the self-alignment-interface.

Y-extent (pair of numbers):

#<unpure-pure-container #<procedure ly:grob::stencil-height (_)> >

Extent (size) in the Y direction, measured in staff-space units, relative to object’s reference point.

Y-offset (number):

#<unpure-pure-container #<procedure ly:flag::calc-y-offset (_)> #<procedure ly:flag::pure-calc-y-offset (_ _ _)> >

The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent.

Note that many objects have special positioning considerations, which cause any setting of Y-offset to be ignored or modified, even though the object supports the self-alignment-interface.

This object supports the following interface(s): flag-interface, font-interface, grob-interface and item-interface.

This object is of class Item (characterized by item-interface).
