Based on "molecule-hacking.ly" in "Regression Tests", I've come up with the following: ------- #(define (scratch-callback callback) (define (scratch-stencil grob) (let* ((fn (ly:get-default-font grob)) (dgrace (ly:find-glyph-by-name fn "flags-dgrace")) (darrow (ly:find-glyph-by-name fn "scripts-arpeggio-arrow--1")) (scratch (ly:stencil-add dgrace (ly:stencil-translate darrow '(0.95 . -0.2)))) (subject (callback grob))) (set! subject (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge subject 0 1 (ly:stencil-translate-axis scratch -0.8 1) 0.0)) subject)) scratch-stencil) ------- which produces a "twisted" arrow, reminiscent of the path of the rod on the gong, sort of ;-} Gilles _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
