# StaffAlignmentOffsets

class `abjad.` `StaffAlignmentOffsets`(*args)

  Bases: `abjad.core.abjadcore._Abjad`

  Class to model distances between staves in a system. Specify distances by hand when initializing the class. Distances may be even or uneven. LilyPond reads distances going down the page; distances should therefore be negative.

      abjad> staves = StaffAlignmentOffsets(0, -15, -32, -47)

  Pass instances of this class as the second argument to `FixedStaffPositioning`.
