### 3.1.62 MetronomeMark

MetronomeMark objects are created by: Metronome_mark_engraver.

Standard settings:

> `stencil` (unknown):

>   `ly:text-interface::print`

>   The symbol to print.

> `Y-offset` (number):

>   `ly:side-position-interface::y-aligned-side`

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

> `direction` (direction):

>   `1`

>   If `side-axis` is `0` (or `#X`), then this property determines whether the object is placed `#LEFT`, `#CENTER` or `#RIGHT` with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines whether the object is placed `#UP`, `#CENTER` or `#DOWN`. Numerical values may also be used: `#UP`=`1`, `#DOWN`=`-1`, `#LEFT`=`-1`, `#RIGHT`=`1`, `#CENTER`=`0`.

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

>   `0.8`

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

> `side-axis` (number):

>   `1`

>   If the value is `#X` (or equivalently `0`), the object is placed horizontally next to the other object. If the value is `#Y` or `1`, it is placed vertically.

> `extra-spacing-width` (pair of numbers):

>   `'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)`

>   In the horizontal spacing problem, we pad each item by this amount (by adding the ‘car’ on the left side of the item and adding the ‘cdr’ on the right side of the item). In order to make a grob take up no horizontal space at all, set this to `(+inf.0 . -inf.0)`.

> `outside-staff-priority` (number):

>   `1000`

>   If set, the grob is positioned outside the staff in such a way as to avoid all collisions. In case of a potential collision, the grob with the smaller `outside-staff-priority` is closer to the staff.

This object supports the following interface(s): text-interface, side-position-interface, metronome-mark-interface, item-interface, font-interface and grob-interface.
