#### SystemStartBrace

SystemStartBrace objects are created by: System_start_delimiter_engraver

Standard settings:

`style` (symbol):
  `'brace`

  This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the `stencil` callback reading this property.

`padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.3`

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

`stencil` (unknown):
  `ly:system-start-delimiter::print`

  The symbol to print.

`collapse-height` (dimension, in staff space):
  `5.0`

  Minimum height of system start delimiter. If equal or smaller, the bracket is removed.

`X-offset` (number):
  `ly:side-position-interface::x-aligned-side`

  The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent

`direction` (direction):
  `-1`

  If side-position is 1 (#X), then this property determines if the object is placed #LEFT, #CENTER or #RIGHT with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines if the object is placed #UP #CENTER or #DOWN. Numerical values may also be used. #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0 but also other numerical values are permitted.

`font-encoding` (symbol):
  `'fetaBraces`

  The font encoding is the broadest category for selecting a font. Options include: `fetaMusic`, `fetaNumber`, `TeX-text`, `TeX-math`, `fetaBraces`, `fetaDynamic`

`Y-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `#f`

  See `X-extent`.

This object supports the following interfaces: system-start-delimiter-interface, spanner-interface, side-position-interface, font-interface and grob-interface
