> So it is obvious there should be a property called gap length or > gap-factor to be able to set either: Yes. What we'd need is a dash-fraction and dash-period property instead, see text-spanner. However, for dashed/dotted slurs to be really nice, the current builtin postscript dashing is too simplistic. The path length of the slur (and text-spanner) should be taken into account to make sure that begin and end are solid, ie, the slur (or line-) ending must never be part of a gap. > Now, the thing I do not know is how to set up an other property. What is it exactly that you need to know. What do you miss when looking at the places where a property (say dashed) is used?
