Greetings Ponderers,

I am doing some work with some custom slur drawing for grace notes, for various 
(way too complicated to explain here) reasons. I need to position these graphic 
marks very precisely, and very close to the notehead. I am using Scheme 
functions to draw my paths, and producing a markup function to use in the 
music. The issue I am having is that for each mark, and I have hundreds, I need 
to adjust the TextScript offset to get them positioned for a good appearance, 
using

\once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #’(0 . -5)

for example.

What I am asking is how to adjust the TextScript.extra-offset inside 
define-markup-command code. I have simplified the code to the bare minimum, so 
it is somewhat artificial, but hopefully it is clear what I am attempting. How 
can I have complete control over the positioning to the offset of the line in 
this example? I can’t get it to cross into the staff lines, even when I 
globally set outside-staff-priority to ##f. Translating the stencil in the 
Scheme does not seem to be adequate.

\version "2.19.24"

#(define-markup-command (graphic layout props dest offset)
   (pair? pair?)
   (let* ((stil
           (interpret-markup layout props
             (markup #:draw-line dest))))
     (ly:stencil-translate stil offset)))


treble = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \time 1/4

  c
  \grace {
    \stemDown
    %\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f
    bes8^\markup \graphic #'(2 . 2) #'(0 . -3)
  }
  bes4 a c
}

\score {
  \new Staff { \treble }
  \layout { }
}


Andrew
