I've been using the TextSpanner in the following way:
\version "2.18.2"
music = {
\textSpannerDown
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text =
\markup { \upright "P.M." }
e,8 e,\startTextSpan e, e, e, e, e,\stopTextSpan e,
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \clef "treble_8"
\music
}
\new TabStaff {
\music
}
>>
}
This does what is often seen in guitar music, namely using "P.M. ... ... ..."
to denote when palm-mute is applied to the playing.
Is there a way of defining a function (or more likely a pair of functions) to
do this more briefly (and more simply in the code. I guess I'm looking for
something along the lines of:
" e, \startPM e, e, e, \stopPM e, e, "
to achieve the same effect.
... and assuming this can be done, where on earth do I read up about such
things?
