#### VoltaBracket

VoltaBracket objects are created by: Volta_engraver

Standard settings:

`stencil` (unknown):
  `ly:volta-bracket-interface::print`

  The symbol to print.

`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.

`padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `1`

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

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

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

`Y-offset` (number):
  `ly:side-position-interface::y-aligned-side`

  The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent

`side-axis` (number):
  `1`

  If the value is #X (or equivalently 1), the object is placed horizontally next to the other object. If the value is #Y or 0, it is placed vertically.

`thickness` (number):
  `1.6`

  Line thickness, generally measured in `line-thickness`.

`edge-height` (pair):
  `'(2.0 . 2.0)`

  A pair of number specifying the heights of the vertical edges '(left-height . right-height).

`minimum-space` (dimension, in staff space):
  `5`

  Minimum distance that the victim should move (after padding).

`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: volta-bracket-interface, text-interface, spanner-interface, side-position-interface, line-interface, horizontal-bracket-interface, font-interface and grob-interface
