Hello, Sorry to be any trouble, but a long time ago I'd used the following to define barres for a guitar piece:
barre = #(define-music-function (parser location str)(string?) #{ \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'direction = #1 \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'dash-period = #'0.0 \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'() \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(0.0 . 0.5) \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'enclose-bounds = #1 \once \override Voice . TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (format "c~a" $str) "") #}) In the music itself the code was the following: << { <b'-1>4 %||6|| \barre #"IX" <cis'-3>8\startTextSpan <e'-1> <fis'-4\3> <a'-2\2> \stopTextSpan | } \\ { <b-3\4>8 <gis'-4\2>\stopTextSpan <cis'-3\4>2 | } >> Unfortunately I don't remember which version of LilyPond this worked in as I may have manually changed the version number. Either way "enclose-bounds" doesn't seem to be part of the LilyPond code any more and I wondered how the code should read in 2.12.3.
