#### HorizontalBracket

HorizontalBracket objects are created by: Horizontal_bracket_engraver

Standard settings:

`thickness` (number):
  `1.0`

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

`stencil` (unknown):
  `ly:horizontal-bracket::print`

  The symbol to print.

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

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

`connect-to-neighbor` (pair):
  `ly:tuplet-bracket::calc-connect-to-neighbors`

  Pair of booleans, indicating whether this grob looks as a continued break.

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

  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.

`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.

`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.

`bracket-flare` (pair of numbers):
  `'(0.5 . 0.5)`

  A pair of numbers specifying how much edges of brackets should slant outward. Value 0.0 means straight edges

This object supports the following interfaces: spanner-interface, side-position-interface, line-interface, horizontal-bracket-interface and grob-interface
