LilyPond program-reference: 3.1.71 NoteSpacing

### 3.1.71 NoteSpacing

NoteSpacing objects are created by: Note_spacing_engraver.

Standard settings:

> `stem-spacing-correction` (number):

>   `0.5`

>   Optical correction amount for stems that are placed in tight configurations. For opposite directions, this amount is the correction for two normal sized stems that overlap completely.

> `same-direction-correction` (number):

>   `0.25`

>   Optical correction amount for stems that are placed in tight configurations. This amount is used for stems with the same direction to compensate for note head to stem distance.

> `space-to-barline` (boolean):

>   `#t`

>   If set, the distance between a note and the following non-musical column will be measured to the bar line instead of to the beginning of the non-musical column. If there is a clef change followed by a bar line, for example, this means that we will try to space the non-musical column as though the clef is not there.

> `knee-spacing-correction` (number):

>   `1.0`

>   Factor for the optical correction amount for kneed beams. Set between `0` for no correction and `1` for full correction.

This object supports the following interface(s): spacing-interface, note-spacing-interface, item-interface and grob-interface.
