9.10.5 Acknowledging grobs
Some engravers also need information from grobs as they are created and as they terminate. The mechanism and methods to obtain this information are set up by the macros:
-
DECLARE_ACKNOWLEDGER (grob_interface)
-
DECLARE_END_ACKNOWLEDGER (grob_interface)
where grob_interface is an interface supported by the
grob(s) which should be acknowledged. For example, the following
code would declare acknowledgers for a NoteHead
grob (via the
note-head-interface
) and any grobs which support the
side-position-interface
:
DECLARE_ACKNOWLEDGER (note_head)
DECLARE_ACKNOWLEDGER (side_position)
The DECLARE_END_ACKNOWLEDGER ()
macro sets up a spanner-specific
acknowledger which will be called whenever a spanner ends.
Following declaration of an acknowledger, the method is coded as follows:
void Engraver_name::acknowledge_interface_name (Grob_info info) { ...body of acknowledger method... }
