Hi Jean,
Thanks for the quick reply. That's exactly what I needed. Now I need to practice a bit. Thanks also for the link to the documentation, that's very useful too. And you guessed well for my name. I'm French. I see you're also active in the French forum. See you there soon! Fred.

However, if (as your name suggests) your native language is French, you might want the French-speaking forum instead, which is very active as well: http://lilypond-french-users.1298960.n2.nabble.com/ > My question is : how to attach a dotted line between 2 text markups?
