Hi Alexandre,

It would be great to have more complete/robust harp pedal support in Lilypond!

Unfortunately, I believe TextSpanner still doesn’t implement shorten-pair… but
you can always use padding to fake it:
startPed =
#(define-music-function (start-text end-text) (markup? markup?)
#{
\tweak dash-fraction #1.0
\tweak bound-details.left.text #start-text
\tweak bound-details.left.stencil-align-dir-y #CENTER
\tweak font-shape #'upright
\tweak bound-details.right.text #end-text
\tweak bound-details.right.stencil-align-dir-y #CENTER
\tweak bound-details.left-broken.text ##f
\tweak bound-details.right-broken.text ##f
\tweak bound-details.right.padding 4
\tweak padding 1
\startTextSpan
#})
endPed = \stopTextSpan
RH = \relative es'' {
ces'16 gis f gis des8 r a'16 ges es ges d8 r |
}
Pedals = {
s4_\startPed "G♯" " ♭" s s \endPed _\startPed "" "♮" s4 \endPed _"D♮" |
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice \RH
\new Voice \Pedals
>>
}
Maybe Someone™ will have a more automatic and flexible method, but maybe this
gives you a hint in the right direction?
Best,
Kieren.
