A symbol which is attached between two columns
A symbol which is attached between two columns. A spanner is a symbol which spans across several columns, so its final appearance can only be calculated after the breaking problem is solved.Examples
- (de)crescendo
- slur
- beam
- bracket
Spanner should know about the items which it should consider: e.g. slurs should be steep enough to "enclose" all those items. This is absolutely necessary for beams, since they have to adjust the length of stems of notes they encompass.
