Dear all, How would I go about engraving the following fragment of music in Lilypond? (image below) It needn't look precisely as in the picture, but ideally needs to have the following elements:
- A 'time bracket' saying "20-30 seconds" (which will appear in all orchestral parts) - A continuation line which starts in the first bar, continues through empty bars, and terminates with an arrowhead at an arbitrary point several bars later. - Maybe a box around the note, connected to the continuation line. The content of the first bar itself should be fairly easy for me to do myself, by overriding a semibreve notehead's stencil with an \epsfile containing a diagonal cluster graphic. My first thought was that I could use the 'frameEngraver' file that I've seen on these forums, but at first glance, I don't know how I would set the length of the arrow and the length of the bracket independently. The bracket needs to cover the first bar only (unmeasured), but the arrow needs to continue indefinitely through several more 4/4 bars. As a last resort, instead of the arrows, I could just tie several semibreves together (which would actually be clearer than the composer's existing notation), but I would still need the standalone time-bracket. Could a fake volta-bracket be hacked for this purpose? I have little knowledge of the inner workings of Lilypond, so I'm sorry to have to ask, but once this small issue is overcome, the rest of the piece appears to be plain sailing. Thanks in advance!
