@cindex grobs
Stretchability of staves can be controlled with the
-@code{staff-staff-spacing} property of the @code{VerticalAxisGroup}
-@q{graphical object} (commonly called @q{grob}s within the lilypond
-documentation) -- don't worry about the details right now; this is
-fully explained later. For the curious, have a look at
-@ruser{Overview of modifying properties}. Currently, it is not
-possible to modify the @code{stretchability} sub-property only, we
-thus have to copy the other sub-properties also. Again, for the
-curious, you can find the default values in file
-@file{scm/@/define-grobs@/.scm} by looking up the definition of the
-@code{VerticalAxisGroup} grob. The value for @code{stretchability}
-is taken from the definition of the @code{PianoStaff} context (in
-file @file{ly/@/engraver-init@/.ly}) so that the values are
-identical.
