Ryan,
I can find no way of doing it with the current LilyPond. Setting the
dash-fraction to zero is supposed to make dots instead of dashes, but
doesn't work properly.
I've made some changes in the source code, and got the dots to work
properly. I will propose this as a patch to LilyPond, and I expect that
it will be accepted in about two weeks. So you should be able to do this
soon.
Here's the code that produced the attached output:
\version "2.19.42"
\score {
\relative {
\override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = 0
\override TextSpanner.dash-period = 5
\override TextSpanner.thickness = 5
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit "
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "a Tempo"
c'4\startTextSpan d e f |
g4 a b c |
d4 e f e\stopTextSpan
}
}
I hope this will help eventually.
Carl
