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):

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
