I have a feeling that the first entry is unneeded

  1885         (direction . ,DOWN)

This is probably a slip-up in the infrastructure for the
auto-generated docs, but it's understandable: there shouldn't be two
entries for the same grob property.  :-)

If I comment out the (direction . ,DOWN) line and generate the IR,
this is the output:

  The symbol to print.
  @item @code{direction} (direction):

  @code{ly:script-interface::calc-direction}

Also, this function is used for other grobs, so we know that it works.

However, I should not have the final say, because I'm not 100%
positive of this.
