3.1.101 OptionalMaterialBracket (LilyPond Internals Reference)

#### 3.1.101 `OptionalMaterialBracket`

An in-staff bracket delimiting an optional passage.

`OptionalMaterialBracket` objects are created by the following engraver(s): `Optional_material_bracket_engraver`.

Standard settings:

> `break-align-symbol` (symbol):

>   `callback`

>   This key is used for aligning, ordering, and spacing breakable items. See break-alignment-interface.

> `break-visibility` (vector):

>   `#<procedure at lily/output-lib.scm:1767:0 (grob)>`

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

> `break-visibility-passage-default` (vector):

>       #(#t #t #f)

>   The value to use for `break-visibility` when the item does not specifically mark the start or end of a passage. (It might be both or neither, depending on the type of item.)

> `break-visibility-passage-end` (vector):

>       #(#t #t #f)

>   The value to use for `break-visibility` when the item marks the end of a passage.

> `break-visibility-passage-start` (vector):

>       #(#f #t #t)

>   The value to use for `break-visibility` when the item marks the start of a passage.

> `direction` (direction):

>   `#<procedure at lily/output-lib.scm:1795:0 (grob)>`

>   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`.

> `non-musical` (boolean):

>   `#t`

>   True if the grob belongs to a `NonMusicalPaperColumn`.

> `positions` (pair of numbers):

>   `optional-material-bracket::positions`

>   Pair of staff coordinates `(start . end)`, where start and end are vertical positions in `staff-space` units of the current staff. For slurs, this value selects which slur candidate to use; if extreme positions are requested, the closest one is taken.

> `protrusion` (number):

>   `0.75`

>   In a bracket indicating non-arpeggio or optional material, the length of the horizontal edges.

> `space-alist` (alist, with symbols as keys):

>       '((ambitus extra-space . 2.0)
>         (breathing-sign minimum-space . 1.0)
>         (custos minimum-space . 1.0)
>         (key-signature minimum-space . 1.5)
>         (time-signature minimum-space . 1.5)
>         (signum-repetitionis minimum-space . 1.5)
>         (staff-bar minimum-space . 1.0)
>         (clef minimum-space . 2.0)
>         (cue-clef minimum-space . 2.0)
>         (cue-end-clef minimum-space . 2.0)
>         (optional-material-end-bracket extra-space . 1.0)
>         (optional-material-start-bracket
>           extra-space
>           .
>           1.0)
>         (first-note extra-space . 0.5)
>         (next-note extra-space . 0.5)
>         (right-edge extra-space . 0.1))

>   An alist that specifies distances from this grob to other breakable items, using the format:

>       '((break-align-symbol . (spacing-style . space))
>         (break-align-symbol . (spacing-style . space))
>         ...)

>   Standard choices for `break-align-symbol` are listed in Grobs and their break-align symbols. Additionally, three special break-align symbols available to `space-alist` are:

>   > `first-note`

>   >   used when the grob is just left of the first note on a line

>   > `next-note`

>   >   used when the grob is just left of any other note; if not set, the value of `first-note` gets used

>   > `right-edge`

>   >   used when the grob is the last item on the line (only compatible with the `extra-space` spacing style)

>   If `space-alist` is defined for a grob that gets spaced in a staff, an entry for `first-note` must be present. If there is no `next-note` entry, the value of `first-note` is used instead.

>   Choices for `spacing-style` are:

>   > `extra-space`

>   >   Put this much space between the two grobs. The space is stretchable and shrinkable when paired with `first-note` or `next-note`; otherwise it is fixed.

>   > `minimum-space`

>   >   Put at least this much space between the left sides of both grobs, without allowing them to collide. The space is stretchable and shrinkable when paired with `first-note` or `next-note`; otherwise it is fixed. Not compatible with `right-edge`.

>   > `fixed-space`

>   >   Only compatible with `first-note` and `next-note`. Put this much fixed space between the grob and the note.

>   > `minimum-fixed-space`

>   >   Only compatible with `first-note` and `next-note`. Put at least this much fixed space between the left side of the grob and the left side of the note, without allowing them to collide.

>   > `semi-fixed-space`

>   >   Only compatible with `first-note` and `next-note`. Put this much space between the grob and the note, such that half of the space is fixed and half is stretchable and shrinkable.

>   > `shrink-space`

>   >   Only compatible with `first-note` and `next-note`. Put this much space between the two grobs. The space is only shrinkable.

>   > `semi-shrink-space`

>   >   Only compatible with `first-note` and `next-note`. Put this much space between the grob and the note, such that half of the space is fixed and half is shrinkable.

>   Rules for this spacing are much more complicated than this. See [Wanske] page 126–134, [Ross] page 143–147.

> `stencil` (stencil):

>   `ly:chord-bracket::print`

>   The symbol to print.

> `thickness` (number):

>   `1.5`

>   For grobs made up of lines, this is the thickness of the line. For slurs and ties, this is the distance between the two arcs of the curve’s outline at its thickest point, not counting the diameter of the virtual “pen” that draws the arcs. This property is expressed as a multiple of the current staff-line thickness (i.e., the visual output is influenced by changes to `Staff.StaffSymbol.thickness`).

> `Y-extent` (pair of numbers):

>   `#<unpure-pure-container ly:grob::stencil-height ly:arpeggio::pure-height >`

>   Extent (size) in the Y direction, measured in staff-space units, relative to object’s reference point.

This object supports the following interface(s): `break-aligned-interface`, `grob-interface`, `item-interface`, `optional-material-bracket-interface` and `passage-delimiter-interface`.

This object is of class Item (characterized by `item-interface`).
