Hi James,
I'm not sure about that advantages of using grid lines.
How about something like:
\version "2.19.17"
musicA = {
c'4 c' c' c'
}
musicB = {
b4 b b c'''
}
verticalLine = ^\markup {
%% to cross staves simply add:
\with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
\center-column {
\arrow-head #Y #UP ##t
\draw-dashed-line #'(0 . 10)
}
}
myArrow = #(define-music-function (parser location arg-arrow) (number?)
#{
-\markup {
%% to cross staves simply add:
\with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
\center-column {
\arrow-head #Y #UP ##t
\draw-dashed-line #`(0 . ,arg-arrow)
}
}
#})
myGridLines = {
s4\verticalLine s s s\verticalLine
}
myGridLinesBis = {
s4^\myArrow 10 s s s^\myArrow 7
}
<<
\new Staff \musicA
\new Dynamics \myGridLines
\new Staff { s1 }
\new Staff \musicB
>>
<<
\new Staff \musicA
\new Dynamics \myGridLinesBis
\new Staff { s1 }
\new Staff \musicB
>>
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Pierre
