5.4.4 Spanners

Many objects of musical notation extend over several notes or even several bars. Examples are crescendi, trills, tuplet brackets, and volta repeat brackets. Such objects are called “spanners”, and have special properties to control their appearance and behaviour. Some of these properties are common to all spanners; others are restricted to a sub-set of the spanners.
