I vote for \broken. For me, it doesn't imply two pieces. This was David's first, quick suggestion, and I think it's good for exactly this reason.
The first suggestion just picked this off the proposed music event name. Here is why I consider \fake or \detached better: when I see \broken\< or \broken\!, this does not really help me figure out where to use them. \broken\! actually looks, uh, broken. How do you break an end spanner? However, \fake\< or \fake\! immediately make clear that we are talking about something still being used in the function of a starting and ending spanner, respectively. I like it somewhat better than \detached, but of course the latter is a bit more dignified. It's also longer. https://codereview.appspot.com/7424049/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
