as suggested by caagr98, cluster can be extremely helpful and at the same
time easy to use:
% ---
music = \relative c'{ c8 d e g c g e c }
{
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice \music
\new Voice \makeClusters \music
>>
}
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\override ClusterSpanner.color = #red
\override ClusterSpanner.layer = #-2
\override ClusterSpanner.X-offset = #0.5
% \override ClusterSpanner.padding = #0.5
}
}
% ---
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Klaus

This would actually be quite in line with the things I've explored recently, and I can second that it's definitely feasible in LilyPond (as Kieren suggests: as a function that automatically does this with whatever pitches you encode in between). Unfortunately I don't have the time available right now to give it a try.

Re: Drawing a contour on a staff
You could try \makeClusters. They are a bit thicker than in the image, but they might be useful. (I have no idea what they are actually meant for, though.)

As all of the other examples are set with LilyPond I would like to render this in LilyPond as well for the sake of consistency, but am not sure how best to proceed. I know I can do this with a markup path, using lines and curves and so on, but I want to be sure that is my best solution before committing to it as it is extremely time consuming (and my initial trials look very 'computerish'). Does anybody know of an alternative way to do this?

Hi Kevin, > Does anybody know of an alternative way to do this? I don’t… But this sure seems like something that could be Scheme-d, so that Liypond sets out the music as if it were notated — and maybe even grayed out, like the erased (?) part of your image — and then draws the noteheads as a connected curve. It would be an amazing demonstration of the power of Lilypond, if someone could make it work! Cheers, Kieren.
