3.1.24 ChordName

ChordName objects are created by: Chord_name_engraver.

Standard settings:

after-line-breaking (boolean):

ly:chord-name::after-line-breaking

Dummy property, used to trigger callback for after-line-breaking.

extra-spacing-height (pair of numbers):

'(0.2 . -0.2)

In the horizontal spacing problem, we increase the height of each item by this amount (by adding the ‘car’ to the bottom of the item and adding the ‘cdr’ to the top of the item). In order to make a grob infinitely high (to prevent the horizontal spacing problem from placing any other grobs above or below this grob), set this to (-inf.0 . +inf.0).

extra-spacing-width (pair of numbers):

'(-0.5 . 0.5)

In the horizontal spacing problem, we pad each item by this amount (by adding the ‘car’ on the left side of the item and adding the ‘cdr’ on the right side of the item). In order to make a grob take up no horizontal space at all, set this to (+inf.0 . -inf.0).

font-family (symbol):

'sans

The font family is the broadest category for selecting text fonts. Options include: sans, roman.

font-size (number):

1.5

The font size, compared to the ‘normal’ size. 0 is style-sheet’s normal size, -1 is smaller, +1 is bigger. Each step of 1 is approximately 12% larger; 6 steps are exactly a factor 2 larger. Fractional values are allowed.

stencil (stencil):

ly:text-interface::print

The symbol to print.

word-space (dimension, in staff space):

0.0

Space to insert between words in texts.

This object supports the following interface(s): chord-name-interface, font-interface, grob-interface, item-interface, rhythmic-grob-interface and text-interface.
