Hi all,
I've come up with a way (music function) of generating double-breves
of which I'm somewhat proud:
%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.12.2"
dbreve =
#(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
#{
\once \override ParenthesesItem #'stencil =
#ly:text-interface::print
\once \override ParenthesesItem #'text =
\markup { \translate #'(-0.4 . -0.45) \override #'(thickness . 2)
\draw-line #'(0 . 0.9)
\hspace #1.86 \translate #'(-0.4 .
-0.45)
\override #'(thickness . 2) \draw-line
#'(0 . 0.9) }
\parenthesize $note
#})
\score { \relative { \dbreve b'\breve*2 \dbreve g\breve*2 } }
%%%%%%%%%%
Short of Lilypond *actually* having a doublebreve -- which is so rare
in the wild, it's not worth spending any time on a native duration --
I think this is pretty cool. Of course, I'd much rather just say
b'\dbreve
How can I make that happen? I've used \displayMusic to see what's
necessary given the current function... but I don't know how to
"reverse time" and apply the ParenthesesItem tweaks from "the other
side". Any help would be greatly appreciated -- once this is done, I
think it might make a useful snippet.
Thanks,
Kieren.
