So, in partial answer to my own question, we can achieve control over line cap style using a markup context, and the following code works fine:
(if is-rest? empty-stencil (ly:stencil-add stil (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:override (cons (quote line-cap-style) (quote square)) (#:path 0.2 (list (list (quote moveto) start-x start-y) (list (quote lineto) end-x end-y))))))) However, I am still interested in the answer to my original question, if that is possible at all? Andrew From: Andrew Bernard [mailto:andrew.bern...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 21 October 2016 11:05 AM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Line cap style in scheme I'm writing a function to make horizontal slashes through note stems. The function make-line-stencil uses round end caps, but I prefer square or butt style. I have asked this question before on the list, but the pointers to possible answers referred to code for making markups, which is good, whereas I want to set the end cap style for a path stencil. Here's a fragment of the code in question (not meant to be a MWE, just to give the programming context): (if is-rest? empty-stencil (ly:stencil-add stil (make-path-stencil (list 'moveto start-x start-y 'lineto end-x end-y) thickness 1 1 #t) )) Is it possible to inject calls here to set the postscript line cap style?
