Lines connecting notes (glissandi)

2012-03-10 Thread Siska Ádám 
Hello list,


I'm investigating how one could implement a glissando. So far, I've found three 
solutions:

- \glissando itself
- \makeClusters with a single note instead of a chord
- \markup (with \beam, \path or \postscript)

while \glissando is a simple solution, it gives a very narrow line -- which I 
didn't find how I could make thicker -- and there's absolutely no control over 
the shape of the line (so one can't make a non-linear glissando with it). 
\makeClusters solves this last question, however, the line -- even if one uses 
a single note, e.g. \makeClusters { d4 e d' } -- would be very thick, and I 
didn't find a way to make it narrower (to make my point clear, ideally I'd need 
a line which has the exact height of a filled notehead). Of course, I could do 
whatever I wanted with markup graphics, however, if possible, I'd like to solve 
this without markups.


Thanks for the help,
Ádám Siska

did you try 

\override Glissando #'thickness = #8

 You can customize the thickness of the glissando line with
   \override Glissando #'thickness = #(number)
 as in example before
 
 I don't know what you mean with non-linear glissando, but you can have
 a look here if you need just to change the shape of the line:

 or search the LSR for more tweaks:

   f'2 \glissando a'
   
   \once \override Glissando #'thickness = #2
   f'2 \glissando a'
   
   \once \override Glissando #'thickness = #3
   f'2 \glissando a'

Dear Eluze and Tiresia,


thank you for the comments. I didn't know about that feature :-)
Does also the makeClusters command have something similar? Unfortunately 
\override makeClusters #'thickness = #8 doesn't work.


Best,
Ádám
