Stefan,
For this particular snippet I would normally expect to see simply; +?
with no dash or dashed line between the + and ?. For such a sort note
this would be perfectly clear. For a longer note that gradually
opens/closes such a dashed line would be fine, but I would also probably
expect to see it done using at least two notes tied together; one note
with + and the other with ? with the dashed line between. In the case of
repeated open/close across several notes a dashed line would also be
clear. For single notes, however, it would normally be sufficient to
use simply +? or ?+ as the "wah" effect is usually spread out across the
duration of the note.

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 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Ah, you want a dashed hairpin. Is this to notate a gradual
opening/closing? I would not normally expect to see a dashed
hairpin but rather simply a dashed line between the '+' and 'o'.
This means gradual open/close. It seems that you want something
like 'o > +' or '+ < o', correct? I suppose you could mark one
note with '+' and another with 'o' and place your hairpin between.
Again, however, as a trombonist I would find this notation
non-standard and potentially confusing. I don't know enough about
your notation requirements to understand why you would want or
need to notate it this way.

Dear David,
thanks for Your help.
I found out, that I can get a dashed hairpin with \once \override
Hairpin #'style = #'dashed-line
What I would like to do is getting a + and an "o" at the beginning
and the end of the hairpin.
The "o" is easy to get with
\override Hairpin #'circled-tip = ##t
But how I can do it with the "+"-sign?

I'm not sure exactly how you want your wah-wah effect to appear,
but for starters you can go here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#index-Feta-font
...to find the glyphs you need. The ones you need are listed under
"Script glyphs." One is "stopped" (looks like '+') and the other
is "flageolet" (looks like a small circle). There is also "open"
which looks like a small letter 'o'. I've normally seen the little
circle (I'm a trombonist). I don't know how to do this without
experimenting with it but if you want '+O' I suppose you could
create a script called 'wah' or something and combine them
together side-by-side. This would mean 'wah' on a single note. If
you wanted the effect to span two or more notes I think you should
be able to put the '+' over one note, the 'o' over the other and
put some sort of dotted/dashed spanner between them.
Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment but I hope this is
helpful,
David

Dear community,
I've created a little image (with another program) to illustrate
what I'm thinking of.

Dear lilypond-users,
does someone of You know, how to produce a proper notation for
wah-wah effect for trumpet or trombone?
