Dear community,
I made a second attempt to create a symbol for the so called wah-wah-effect.
My first question:
Would You think, this is the common way to notate it?
My second question:
I would like to make the textspanner longer, but this, unfortunately,
doesn't work.
Here is my snippet:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%% BEGIN %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.12.2"

wah = {
  \override Voice.TextSpanner #'shorten-pair = #'(0 . -8) %this doesn't do
anything, why?
  \override Voice.TextSpanner #'style = #'dashed-line
   \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup {
\musicglyph #"scripts.stopped" }
              \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) =
\markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.open" }
            } %
            harmonmute = ^\markup { \whiteout "harmon mute" }
music = {
   \time 2/4  \wah
    \clef "treble"   f''16  \harmonmute ( -> \mf [ es''16 ) r16 b'16 -. ]
r16 des''16 -. [ r16 as'16
    ( ~ -> ] as'16 [ ges'16 ) -. \context Voice << {c''16 -> -. \sfz ]} {s16
\startTextSpan   }>> r16\stopTextSpan  r4
}
\new Staff \music
%%%%%%%%% END %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
