#### SpacingSpanner

SpacingSpanner objects are created by: Spacing_engraver

Standard settings:

`springs-and-rods` (boolean):
  `ly:spacing-spanner::set-springs`

  Dummy variable for triggering spacing routines.

`average-spacing-wishes` (boolean):
  `#t`

  If set, the spacing wishes are averaged over staves.

`grace-space-factor` (number):
  `0.6`

  Space grace notes at this fraction of the `spacing-increment`.

`shortest-duration-space` (dimension, in staff space):
  `2.0`

  Start with this much space for the shortest duration. This is expressed in `spacing-increment` as unit. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

`spacing-increment` (number):
  `1.2`

  Add this much space for a doubled duration. Typically, the width of a note head. See also spacing-spanner-interface.

`base-shortest-duration` (moment):
  `#<Mom 3/16>`

  Spacing is based on the shortest notes in a piece. Normally, pieces are spaced as if notes at least as short as this are present.

This object supports the following interfaces: spacing-spanner-interface, spacing-interface, spanner-interface and grob-interface
