#### Ambitus

Ambitus objects are created by: Ambitus_engraver

Standard settings:

`axes` (list):
  `'(0 1)`

  list of axis numbers. In the case of alignment grobs, this should contain only one number.

`X-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `ly:axis-group-interface::width`

  Hard coded extent in X direction.

`X-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `ly:axis-group-interface::width`

  Hard coded extent in X direction.

`space-alist` (list):
  `'((clef extra-space . 0.5) (key-signature extra-space . 0.0) (staff-bar extra-space . 0.0) (time-signature extra-space . 0.0) (first-note fixed-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`.

`breakable` (boolean):
  `#t`

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

`break-align-symbol` (symbol):
  `'ambitus`

  This key is used for aligning and spacing breakable items.

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

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

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