LilyPond Internals Reference: 2.1.26 Score

### 2.1.26 Score

This is the top level notation context. No other context can contain a `Score` context. This context handles the administration of time signatures. It also makes sure that items such as clefs, time signatures, and key-signatures are aligned across staves.

You cannot explicitly instantiate a `Score` context (since it is not contained in any other context). It is instantiated automatically when an output definition (a `\score` or `\layout` block) is processed.

This context also accepts commands for the following context(s):

Timing.

This context creates the following layout object(s):

BarNumber, BreakAlignGroup, BreakAlignment, FootnoteItem, FootnoteSpanner, GraceSpacing, LeftEdge, MetronomeMark, NonMusicalPaperColumn, PaperColumn, ParenthesesItem, RehearsalMark, SpacingSpanner, SystemStartBar, SystemStartBrace, SystemStartBracket, SystemStartSquare, VerticalAlignment, VoltaBracket and VoltaBracketSpanner.

This context sets the following properties:

- Set translator property `additionalPitchPrefix` to `""`.
- Set translator property `aDueText` to `"a2"`.
- Set translator property `alternativeRestores` to:

      '(measurePosition measureLength lastChord)

This is not a ‘Bottom’ context; search for such a one will commence after creating an implicit context of type Staff.

Context Score can contain ChoirStaff, ChordNames, Devnull, DrumStaff, Dynamics, FiguredBass, FretBoards, GrandStaff, GregorianTranscriptionStaff, KievanStaff, Lyrics, MensuralStaff, NoteNames, OneStaff, PetrucciStaff, PianoStaff, RhythmicStaff, Staff, StaffGroup, TabStaff and VaticanaStaff.

This context is built from the following engraver(s):

> `Bar_number_engraver`

>   A bar number is created whenever `measurePosition` is zero and when there is a bar line (i.e., when `whichBar` is set). It is put on top of all staves, and appears only at the left side of the staff. The staves are taken from `stavesFound`, which is maintained by Staff_collecting_engraver.

>   Music types accepted:

>   alternative-event

>   Properties (read)

>   > `alternativeNumberingStyle` (symbol)

>   >   The style of an alternative’s bar numbers. Can be `numbers` for going back to the same number or `numbers-with-letters` for going back to the same number with letter suffixes. No setting will not go back in measure-number time.

>   > `barNumberFormatter` (procedure)

>   >   A procedure that takes a bar number, measure position, and alternative number and returns a markup of the bar number to print.

>   > `barNumberVisibility` (procedure)

>   >   A procedure that takes a bar number and a measure position and returns whether the corresponding bar number should be printed. Note that the actual print-out of bar numbers is controlled with the `break-visibility` property.

>   >   The following procedures are predefined:

>   >   `all-bar-numbers-visible`

>   >     Enable bar numbers for all bars, including the first one and broken bars (which get bar numbers in parentheses).

>   >   `first-bar-number-invisible`

>   >     Enable bar numbers for all bars (including broken bars) except the first one. If the first bar is broken, it doesn’t get a bar number either.

>   >   `first-bar-number-invisible-save-broken-bars`

>   >     Enable bar numbers for all bars (including broken bars) except the first one. A broken first bar gets a bar number.

>   >   `first-bar-number-invisible-and-no-parenthesized-bar-numbers`

>   >     Enable bar numbers for all bars except the first bar and broken bars. This is the default.

>   >   `(every-nth-bar-number-visible n)`

>   >     Assuming n is value 2, for example, this enables bar numbers for bars 2, 4, 6, etc.

>   >   `(modulo-bar-number-visible n m)`

>   >     If bar numbers 1, 4, 7, etc., should be enabled, n (the modulo) must be set to 3 and m (the division remainder) to 1.

>   > `currentBarNumber` (integer)

>   >   Contains the current barnumber. This property is incremented at every bar line.

>   > `stavesFound` (list of grobs)

>   >   A list of all staff-symbols found.

>   > `whichBar` (string)

>   >   This property is read to determine what type of bar line to create.

>   >   Example:

>   >   >     \set Staff.whichBar = ".|:"

>   >   This will create a start-repeat bar in this staff only. Valid values are described in ‘`scm/bar-line.scm`’.

>   Properties (write)

>   > `currentBarNumber` (integer)

>   >   Contains the current barnumber. This property is incremented at every bar line.

>   This engraver creates the following layout object(s):

>   BarNumber.

> `Beam_collision_engraver`

>   Help beams avoid colliding with notes and clefs in other voices.

> `Break_align_engraver`

>   Align grobs with corresponding `break-align-symbols` into groups, and order the groups according to `breakAlignOrder`. The left edge of the alignment gets a separate group, with a symbol `left-edge`.

>   This engraver creates the following layout object(s):

>   BreakAlignGroup, BreakAlignment and LeftEdge.

> `Concurrent_hairpin_engraver`

>   Collect concurrent hairpins.

> `Default_bar_line_engraver`

>   This engraver determines what kind of automatic bar lines should be produced, and sets `whichBar` accordingly. It should be at the same level as Timing_translator.

>   Properties (read)

>   > `automaticBars` (boolean)

>   >   If set to false then bar lines will not be printed automatically; they must be explicitly created with a `\bar` command. Unlike the `\cadenzaOn` keyword, measures are still counted. Bar line generation will resume according to that count if this property is unset.

>   > `barAlways` (boolean)

>   >   If set to true a bar line is drawn after each note.

>   > `defaultBarType` (string)

>   >   Set the default type of bar line. See `whichBar` for information on available bar types.

>   >   This variable is read by Timing_translator at Score level.

>   > `measureLength` (moment)

>   >   Length of one measure in the current time signature.

>   > `measurePosition` (moment)

>   >   How much of the current measure have we had. This can be set manually to create incomplete measures.

>   > `timing` (boolean)

>   >   Keep administration of measure length, position, bar number, etc.? Switch off for cadenzas.

>   > `whichBar` (string)

>   >   This property is read to determine what type of bar line to create.

>   >   Example:

>   >   >     \set Staff.whichBar = ".|:"

>   >   This will create a start-repeat bar in this staff only. Valid values are described in ‘`scm/bar-line.scm`’.

> `Footnote_engraver`

>   Properties (read)

>   > `currentMusicalColumn` (graphical (layout) object)

> `Mark_engraver`

>   Create `RehearsalMark` objects. It puts them on top of all staves (which is taken from the property `stavesFound`). If moving this engraver to a different context, Staff_collecting_engraver must move along, otherwise all marks end up on the same Y location.

>   Music types accepted:

>   mark-event

>   > `stavesFound` (list of grobs)

>   >   A list of all staff-symbols found.

> `Metronome_mark_engraver`

>   Engrave metronome marking. This delegates the formatting work to the function in the `metronomeMarkFormatter` property. The mark is put over all staves. The staves are taken from the `stavesFound` property, which is maintained by Staff_collecting_engraver.

>   Music types accepted:

>   Apply a procedure to any grob acknowledged.

>   Music types accepted:

>   apply-output-event

> `Paper_column_engraver`

>   Take care of generating columns.

>   This engraver decides whether a column is breakable. The default is that a column is always breakable. However, every `Bar_engraver` that does not have a barline at a certain point will set `forbidBreaks` in the score context to stop line breaks. In practice, this means that you can make a break point by creating a bar line (assuming that there are no beams or notes that prevent a break point).

>   Music types accepted:

>   break-event and label-event
