Hi Urs,
best solution would be to have an easy to understand and easy to
document input-code.
Something like \shape:
[-]\shape displacements item (from NR)
Where 'item' is some kind of curve.
(When people struggle with \shape then because of the 'displacements',
not for 'item')
I tried to find something like that for 'arpeggioParenthesis' with the
possibility to specify the context, but let it default to 'Bottom.
I'm ashamed I couldn't figure how to use a function with an optional
argument for it.
Best I found is:
#(define* (parenthesized-arpeggio #:optional (ctx "Bottom"))
#{
\override #ctx . Arpeggio.stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-slur
\override #ctx . Arpeggio.X-extent = #ly:grob::stencil-width
\revert #ctx . Arpeggio.dash-definition
#})
But it seems it isn't possible to use it like:
\parenthesized-arpeggio Staff
(like a music-function)
@David K, any chance to make it work?
You can use it with the following syntax, though:
$(parenthesized-arpeggio)
or
$(parenthesized-arpeggio "Staff")
etc
Using it with cross-Staff-Arpeggios in PianoStaff will require an
additional _manual_ override for 'X-extent, though.
The default-procedure, 'ly:grob::stencil-width' returns a warning and
bad output.
A bug?
Cheers,
Harm
