Comment #1 on issue 4103 by [email protected]: Ottava dash-fraction = #0 produces
dotted line instead of 'no line'
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4103
In the description of "line-interface" I read
For 'dashed-line', the length of the dashes is tuned with
'dash-fraction'. If the latter is set to 0, a dotted line is produced.
So I think this is mostly a documentation issue. However, I would expect
that for dash-fraction being 0, the output is indeed a dotted line only
consisting of line caps. So for the line-cap style of cut-off I'd indeed
expect to see nothing, for square I'd expect to see squares, and for
rounded I'd expect to see circles).
But the resulting "dots" still seem longish in nature, implying a non-zero
line length.
So we definitely have a Documentation issue here (we have conflicting
statements between the documentation for line-interface and dash-fraction
proper). We might also have sort of an actually mismatch of definition and
precise semantics, but "dotted" would still seem to cover the present
behavior.
So for now, I am marking this as a documentation issue.
