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 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2009/12/27 bobr...@centrum.is <bobr...@centrum.is> > Ah, you want a dashed hairpin.
