Inspired by LSR 843 (https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=843) for the Postscript commands to create a square hook, a way to do it that in my view even fits semantically is by using custom rehearsal marks %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.22.0" introductionStartHook = \markup { \path #0.25 #'((moveto 0 0) (lineto 0 0.8 ) (lineto 0.8 0.8)) } introductionEndHook = \markup { \path #0.25 #'((moveto 0 0.8) (lineto 0.8 0.8) (lineto 0.8 0)) } { \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #LEFT \mark \introductionStartHook c''2 d'' \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT \mark \introductionEndHook e'' d'' } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
