#### OttavaBracket

OttavaBracket objects are created by: Ottava_spanner_engraver

Standard settings:

`Y-offset` (number):
  `ly:side-position-interface::y-aligned-side`

  The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent

`font-shape` (symbol):
  `'italic`

  Select the shape of a font. Choices include `upright`, `italic`, `caps`.

`shorten-pair` (pair of numbers):
  `'(0.0 . -0.6)`

  The lengths to shorten a text-spanner on both sides, for example a pedal bracket

`staff-padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `1.0`

  Maintain this much space between reference points and the staff. Its effect is to align objects of differing sizes (like the dynamic p and f) on their baselines.

`padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.5`

  Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.

`minimum-length` (dimension, in staff space):
  `1.0`

  Try to make a spanner at least this long. This requires an appropriate callback for the `springs-and-rods` property.

`dash-fraction` (number):
  `0.3`

  Size of the dashes, relative to dash-period. Should be between 0.0 (no line) and 1.0 (continuous line).

`edge-height` (pair):
  `'(0 . 1.2)`

  A pair of number specifying the heights of the vertical edges '(left-height . right-height).

`direction` (direction):
  `1`

  #UP or #DOWN, #LEFT or #RIGHT? (or a numerical value, #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0)

This object supports the following interfaces: text-interface, font-interface, side-position-interface, line-interface, horizontal-bracket-interface, ottava-bracket-interface, spanner-interface and grob-interface
