I'm trying to figure out how to draw an ARBITRARY diagonal line. There's a
macro \varline in musixtex.tex that is used for xtuplet brackets, but it
doesn't work as I would expect from the description:
I use the macro in the attached file to draw dotted lines. With small
deltax and deltay the dots will join together and I think you will have
what you want.
I can't seem to remember who helped me for this on our list.
