Re: Defining custom symbols

Hi Robert, Hmm. I have played around with this a bit. I think if you are using safe mode of necessity then you simply can't use lilypond for this use case. Sooner or later you have to mix Lilypond and Scheme, and it is forbidden in safe mode. Transforming the code for the cut from the repo in que

Ottava mark: edge dashed line

Hi everyone, I cannot figure why I cannot change the ottava mark as I'd like. I am interested in using a dashed line, but also for the right edge, as shown in this exemple: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets-big-page.html#text-ottava-text

Nice. I still thought that this is impossible as it was some time ago (3 years?). Is it feasible to align the dots (if I set the dash length to 0) such that there is exactly one dot in the top right corner? I.e. start the horizontal dotted line from the right end? Then it would be perfect. Joram
