No, don't that. Use the same technique as TextScript is using to create digits. Twiddle to create a staff with six lines, and a engraver that transforms Fret_requests to the appropriate Text object. Once that is working, invent a good syntax, and write the more advanced stuff like slides. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/ _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
