adjacent-spanners (array of grobs)

An array of directly neighboring dynamic spanners.

cross-staff (boolean)

True for grobs whose Y-extent depends on inter-staff spacing.

Beams that join notes from two staves are cross-staff. Grobs that are positioned around such beams are also cross-staff. Grobs that are grouping objects, however, like VerticalAxisGroups will not in general be marked cross-staff when some of the members of the group are cross-staff.
