LilyPond Internals Reference: 3.1.69 MultiMeasureRestNumber

### 3.1.69 MultiMeasureRestNumber

MultiMeasureRestNumber objects are created by: Multi_measure_rest_engraver.

Standard settings:

> `bound-padding` (number):

>   `2.0`

>   The amount of padding to insert around spanner bounds.

> `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`.

> `font-encoding` (symbol):

>   `'fetaText`

>   The font encoding is the broadest category for selecting a font. Currently, only lilypond’s system fonts (Emmentaler) are using this property. Available values are `fetaMusic` (Emmentaler), `fetaBraces`, `fetaText` (Emmentaler).

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

>   `0.4`

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

> `self-alignment-X` (number):

>   `0`

>   Specify alignment of an object. The value `-1` means left aligned, `0` centered, and `1` right-aligned in X direction. Other numerical values may also be specified.

> `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.

> `springs-and-rods` (boolean):

>   `ly:multi-measure-rest::set-text-rods`

>   Dummy variable for triggering spacing routines.

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

>   `0.4`

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

> `stencil` (stencil):

>   `ly:text-interface::print`

>   The symbol to print.

> `X-offset` (number):

>   `#<simple-closure (#<primitive-generic +> #<simple-closure (#<primitive-procedure ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self>) > #<simple-closure (#<primitive-procedure ly:self-alignment-interface::x-centered-on-y-parent>) >) >`

>   The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent.

> `Y-offset` (number):

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

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

This object supports the following interface(s): font-interface, grob-interface, multi-measure-interface, self-alignment-interface, side-position-interface, spanner-interface and text-interface.
