Reading a property

Dear LilyPond fellows, how can I read a property? For example, after having applied \override HorizontalBracket.line-thickness = #0.5 is there an easy way to access that value? I know that it will work like this: colorSpan = #(define-music-function (parser location y-lower y-upper color)

change notehead side

Re: Messiaen-style ties?

Hi Pierre & David, These solutions are quite amazing, and I've been able to make both work perfectly for what I want. I'll document my understanding below for later readers of thread trying to finesse results. First I had to go read about the \shape command from David's solution ... http://lily

Hi David, thanks for coming onboard. First of all, I've got a function that returns a stencil: #(define (makeDeltaSpan y-l-lower y-l-upper y-r-lower y-r-upper frame-color fill-color stepLeft stepRight open-on-bottom open-on-top thick pad X-ext-param open-on-left open-on-right radius
