Properties (read)

extraVerticalExtent (pair of numbers):

extra vertical extent, same format as MinimumVerticalExtent

minimumVerticalExtent (pair of numbers):

minimum vertical extent, same format as VerticalExtent

verticalExtent (pair of numbers):

hard coded vertical extent. The format is a pair of dimensions, for example, this sets the sizes of a staff to 10 (5+5) staffspaces high.

          property Staff.verticalExtent = #(-5.0 . 5.0)
          

VerticalExtent, MinimumVerticalExtent and ExtraVerticalExtent are predefined in all relevant contexts to #f, so they will not inherit values.

Note that these VerticalExtents can only operate on vertical groups, and therefore only work in contexts which contain an Axis_group_engraver.
