In my piece, I have several passages where I'd like to use a TextSpanner to indicate "rall. - - - ". Currently, I have to do this:
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rall." \override TextSpanner.direction = #DOWN | a b c\startTextSpanner d | d c b a\stopTextSpanner | I'd like to encapsulate the \override's and \startTextSpanner in a single command, and abbreviate the \stopTextSpanner command, so that I can write something like this: | a4 b c\rall d | d c b a\endRall | Is this possible? I've tried various ways of doing this -- putting the commands in a variable, using various Scheme make-script / make-music constructs, etc., but lilypond keeps coming back with error messages. What's the correct syntax for doing this? Thanks!! T -- All men are mortal. Socrates is mortal. Therefore all men are Socrates. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
