I'm trying to typeset music for classical guitar for which I need to be able to produce the barre symbol. I've managed to acheive the desired output with text spanners via the code:
\property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'edge-text = #'("C II " . "") \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'direction = #1 \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'style = #'line \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'edge-height = #'(0 . 0.5) \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'padding = #1 \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'enclose-bounds = ##t c''\startTextSpan ..... \stopTextSpan I'de like to define this as a pair of commands. The first would be \statBarre which would take as a parameter the barre position, say \startBarre "IV". The position has to be concatinated with the "C" symbol and replaced as the first parameter in the edge-text property. The second command is a simple \stopBarre which I think I can do by just defining: stopBarre = \stopTextSpan.
