LilyPond Internals Reference: 3.2.87 outside-staff-interface

### 3.2.87 outside-staff-interface

A grob that could be placed outside staff.

#### User settable properties:

> `outside-staff-horizontal-padding` (number)

>   By default, an outside-staff-object can be placed so that is it very close to another grob horizontally. If this property is set, the outside-staff-object is raised so that it is not so close to its neighbor.

> `outside-staff-padding` (number)

>   The padding to place between grobs when spacing according to `outside-staff-priority`. Two grobs with different `outside-staff-padding` values have the larger value of padding between them.

> `outside-staff-priority` (number)

>   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.
