Thanks--no, I hadn't seen that. I hadn't thought about using glissando before, actually, because it seems to only take arguments within a single voice. Plus, I can't seem to start a text span in one voice and end it in another voice. Would it make sense to, rather than use glissando or something similar, create a function that takes a syntax similar to the following: \lineBegin x y \lineEnd x y where x is an index so that \lineBegin and \lineEnd may be matched to one another (even across the entire score), and y is the note event (with the NoteHead) that the line is drawn from. As a default, I could make any \lineBegin that doesn't have a corresponding \lineEnd sets its \lineEnd to the same as \lineBegin (so that the length is 0). At the end of the program, a scheme function could cycle through each set of pairs and draw a dotted line between each pair of coordinates, possibly with make-stencil rather than usurping a glissando. Does this seem like it's at all reasonable? Storing a list of pairs and going back later to draw all the lines? _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
