#### LeftEdge

LeftEdge objects are created by: Break_align_engraver

Standard settings:

`break-align-symbol` (symbol):
  `'left-edge`

  This key is used for aligning and spacing breakable items.

`X-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `'(0 . 0)`

  Hard coded extent in X direction.

`breakable` (boolean):
  `#t`

  Can this object appear at a line break, like clefs and bar lines?

`break-visibility` (vector):
  `#(#t #f #t)`

  A vector of 3 booleans, #(end-of-line unbroken begin-of-line). #t means visible, #f means killed.

`space-alist` (list):
  `'((custos extra-space . 0.0) (ambitus extra-space . 2.0) (time-signature extra-space . 1.0) (staff-bar extra-space . 0.0) (breathing-sign minimum-space . 0.0) (clef extra-space . 0.8) (first-note fixed-space . 2.0) (right-edge extra-space . 0.0) (key-signature extra-space . 0.0) (key-cancellation extra-space . 0.0))`

  A table that specifies distances between prefatory items, like clef and time-signature. The format is an alist of spacing tuples: `(`break-align-symbol type`.` distance`)`, where type can be the symbols `minimum-space` or `extra-space`.

This object supports the following interfaces: break-aligned-interface, item-interface and grob-interface
