Volta_engraver

Make volta brackets

Properties (read)

voltaOnThisStaff (boolean):

Normally, volta brackets are put only on the topmost staff. Setting this variable to true, will force a bracket to be on this staff as well.

stavesFound (list):

list of all staff-symbols found.

voltaSpannerDuration (moment):

maximum duration of the volta bracket.

Set to a duration to control the size of the brackets printed by \alternative. It specifies the number of whole notes duration to use for the brackets. This can be used to shrink the length of brackets in the situation where one alternative is very large. It may have odd effects if the specified duration is longer than the music given in an \alternative. .

repeatCommands (list):

This property is read to find any command of the form (volta . X), where X is a string or #f

Volta_engraver is part of contexts: RhythmicStaff, Staff and TabStaff
