Charles, Here is the way I do it, without programming. You may find this less confusing. 1) Look up the object in the Internals Reference, Section 3.1 All layout objects. For TextSpanner, you can use this link for version 2.18: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/textspanner 2) The standard settings on this page tell you the default settings for this object. These are the most commonly used, but they are not all. 3) At the bottom of the page, the interfaces the object supports are listed. In the case of the TextSpanner, these are font-interface, grog-interface, line-interface, line-spanner-interface, side-position-interface, and spanner-interface. Each of these interfaces has a list of properties found in the Internals Reference section 3.2. And the property lists are linked from the TextSpanner page. 4) Going to one of these interfaces, e.g. the font-interface found in the Internals Reference, section 3.2.36, http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/font_002dinterfac e provides a list of user-settable properties for that interface, which will affect any output item having that interface. All of this is explained in section 5.2 of the Notation Reference. Please read it for more information.
