There are already functions available in LilyPond Scheme, to draw boxes, that should be useful here, such as box-stencil. To use it, you first have to create an (empty) stencil of the appropriate dimensions, for example using ly:make-stencil.

The box could be drawn with Postscript. Here’s an example of drawing large square brackets with Postscript. Easily modifiable to draw a box:

\version "2.12.1"

#(define lbracket "0.25 setlinewidth

0 setlinejoin

0 setlinecap

0.5 -2 moveto

-2 0 rlineto

0 8.8 rlineto

2 0 rlineto

stroke")

#(define rbracket "0.25 setlinewidth

0 setlinejoin

0 setlinecap

0.5 -2 moveto

2 0 rlineto

0 8.8 rlineto

-2 0 rlineto

stroke")

\relative c' {

c4-\markup { \postscript #lbracket } c c c-\markup { \postscript #rbracket }

}

Dear community,
I would like to do something like You can see in the attached image.
I don't mean the feathered beams (I know how this can be done) but the boxed bars, followed by the dotted lines.
I have no idea how to do this in Lilypond.
A hint would be great!
Thanks
Stefan
