<dl>
<dt><code>aDueText</code> (markup)<dd>Text to print at a unisono passage.
<br><dt><code>alignAboveContext</code> (string)<dd>Where to insert newly created context in
vertiical alignment.
<br><dt><code>alignBassFigureAccidentals</code> (boolean)<dd>If true, then the accidentals
are aligned in bass figure context.
<br><dt><code>alignBelowContext</code> (string)<dd>Where to insert newly created context in
vertiical alignment.
<br><dt><code>associatedVoice</code> (string)<dd>Name of the <code>Voice</code> that has the
melody for this <code>Lyrics</code> line.
<br><dt><code>autoAccidentals</code> (list)<dd>List of different ways to typeset an
accidental.
<p>For determining when to print an accidental, several different rules
are tried. The rule that gives the highest number of accidentals is
used. Each rule consists of
<dl>
<dt><var>context</var><dd>In which context is the rule applied. For example, if <var>context</var>
is <a name="index-Score-3305"></a><a href="../lilypond-internals/Score.html#Score">Score</a> then all staves share accidentals, and if
<var>context</var> is <a name="index-Staff-3306"></a><a href="../lilypond-internals/Staff.html#Staff">Staff</a> then all voices in the same staff
share accidentals, but staves do not.
<br><dt><var>octavation</var><dd>Whether the accidental changes all octaves or only the current octave.
Valid choices are
<dl>
<dt><code>same-octave</code><dd>This is the default algorithm. Accidentals are typeset if the note
changes the accidental of that note in that octave. Accidentals lasts
to the end of the measure and then as many measures as specified in the
value. This is, <code>1</code> means to the end of next measure,
<code>-1</code> means to the end of previous measure (that is: no
duration at all), etc. <code>#t</code> means forever.
<br><dt><code>any-octave</code><dd>Accidentals are typeset if the note is different from the previous note
on the same pitch in any octave. The value has same meaning as in
<code>same-octave</code>.
</dl>
<br><dt><var>laziness</var><dd>Over how many bar lines the accidental lasts. If <var>laziness</var> is
<code>-1</code> then the accidental is forgotten immediately, and if
<var>laziness</var> is <code>#t</code> then the accidental lasts forever.
</dl>
<br><dt><code>autoBeamCheck</code> (procedure)<dd>A procedure taking three
arguments, <var>context</var>, <var>dir</var> [start/stop (-1 or 1)], and
<var>test</var> [shortest note in the beam]. A non-<code>#f</code> return value
starts or stops the auto beam.
<br><dt><code>autoBeamSettings</code> (list)<dd>Specifies when automatically generated
beams should begin and end. See <a name="index-Setting-automatic-beam-3307"></a>behavior
<a href="../lilypond/Setting-automatic-beam-behavior.html#Setting-automatic-beam-behavior">Setting automatic beam behavior</a> for more information.
<br><dt><code>autoBeaming</code> (boolean)<dd>If set to true then beams are generated
automatically.
<br><dt><code>autoCautionaries</code> (list)<dd>List similar to <code>autoAccidentals</code>,

lists are tried, and the one giving the most accidentals wins. In
case of draw, a normal accidental is typeset.
<br><dt><code>automaticBars</code> (boolean)<dd>If set to true then bar lines will not
be printed automatically; they must be explicitly created with a
<code>\bar</code> command. Unlike the <code>\cadenza</code> keyword, measures
are still counted. Bar generation will resume according to that count
if this property is unset.
<br><dt><code>barAlways</code> (boolean)<dd>If set to true a bar line is drawn after
each note.
<br><dt><code>barCheckSynchronize</code> (boolean)<dd>If true then reset

integer and returns whether the corresponding bar number should be
printed.
