#### OctavateEight

OctavateEight objects are created by: Clef_engraver

Standard settings:

`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. Values in between may also be specified.

`break-visibility` (procedure):
  `begin-of-line-visible`

  A function that takes the break direction and returns a cons of booleans containing (transparent . empty). The following variables are predefined: `all-visible`, `begin-of-line-visible`, `end-of-line-visible`, `begin-of-line-invisible`, `end-of-line-invisible`, `all-invisible`.

`X-offset-callbacks` (list):
  `'(#<primitive-procedure Self_alignment_interface::centered_on_parent> #<primitive-procedure Self_alignment_interface::aligned_on_self>)`

  A list of functions determining this objects' position relative to its parent. The last one in the list is called first. The functions take a grob and axis argument.

`Y-offset-callbacks` (list):
  `'(#<primitive-procedure Side_position_interface::aligned_side>)`

  see `X-offset-callbacks`.

`print-function` (procedure):
  `Text_item::print`

  Function taking grob as argument, returning a `Stencil` object.

`Y-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `'(0 . 0)`

  See `X-extent`.

`font-shape` (symbol):
  `'italic`

  Select the shape of a font. Choices include `upright`, `italic`, `caps`.

`padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.6`

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

`staff-padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.2`

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

`font-size` (number):
  `-4`

  The font size, compared the `normal' size. 0 is style-sheet's normal size, -1 is smaller, +1 is bigger. Each step of 1 is approximately 12% larger, 6 steps are exactly a factor 2 larger. Fractional values are allowed.

This object supports the following interfaces: item-interface, font-interface, side-position-interface, self-alignment-interface, text-interface and grob-interface
