Mats - With your pointers, I've made significant progress. Three anomalies remain.
A) The big aha: text size is controlled with, e.g. \override DynamicTextSpanner #'font-size = # 6 but dotted- and dashed-lines aren't scaled. B) Got the \markup thing working, almost. In \set decrescendoText = \markup{ \fontsize #6 { "" \raise #-10 "test"}} the text and line are not "raised" the same distance. C) Both \set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line \set decrescendoSpanner = #'dotted-line do as expected, but \set crescendoSpanner = #'line gives a dashed line. - Bruce _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
