Hello,
In my score I have a section where I need a line from one part to cross
other staves and point to another part. I've been able to adapt GridLine
to appear when I need it, but I'd like to change the appearance:
specifically, make the line dashed and add an arrow at the top. I do not
need this in the parts, it is mainly for the conductor's reference. The
parts will be cued another way.
The code below combines the two possibilities I can think of and shows
where I've gotten to. The problems are I can't figure out how to make
the markup version NOT affect the spacing between staves, and just draw
over the top of them; or alternatively, how to get GridLine to be dashed
with an arrowhead on top. I'd prefer the GridLine solution, since that
will stretch vertically with the system if necessary.
Is this possible with GridLine? If not, is it possible with a markup?
\version "2.19.17"
musicA = {
c'4 c' c' c'
}
verticalLine = ^\markup {
\center-column {
\arrow-head #Y #UP ##t
\draw-dashed-line #'(0 . 18)
}
}
musicB = {
\override Score.GridLine.extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 2.0)
\override Score.GridLine.line = #'dashed
\hide Score.GridLine
b4\verticalLine b b \revert Score.GridLine.transparent b
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \musicA }
\new Staff \with {
\consists "Grid_point_engraver"
gridInterval = #(ly:make-moment 1/4)
} { s1 }
\new Staff \with {
\consists "Grid_point_engraver"
gridInterval = #(ly:make-moment 1/4)
} { \musicB }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\consists "Grid_line_span_engraver"
\override NoteColumn.X-offset = #-0.5
}
}
}
Thanks!
