Enlarging tenuto marks
I find that tenuto lines in Lilypond are rather too thin and short.
With the help of this list, as well as the Lilypond documentation, I am
gradually starting to understand more about how Lilypond functions. So
I was reasonably confident that I could at least increase the font size
of tenuto lines to see if this would give me a satisfactory combination
of length and thickness.
I had a couple of false starts, because I found it difficult to
determine what the name of the relevant grob was. But eventually,
having decided that the name is, in fact 'Script', I was almost certain
that this was going to work:
{ \tweak Script.font-size #6 g-- }
But it completely fails to change the tenuto line.
I see that the Snippets document has a couple of ways I could achieve
what I want, and they might be a better bet in any case for practical
reasons in the coding.
But why doesn't '\tweak Script.font-size' work?

Hi David,

It must be how \tweak behaves, since
music = {
\once \override Script.font-size = #16 g--
}
\score { \music }
works “as expected”, yes?

Kieren.

Re: Enlarging tenuto marks
Hi David, Hi Kieren,
David, you should try : { g-\tweak Script.font-size #6 -- }
BTW, how about :
\version 2.18.2
myTenuto = -\tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)
ly:clef::print (grob-interpret-markup grob
#{
\markup\magnify #3 \musicglyph #scripts.tenuto
#} )) \tenuto
{
c'' \myTenuto c'' _\myTenuto
}

The note g and the tenuto belong together musicwise,
but in the input stream they are two separate items.
Your tweak command is applied to the note g.
{ \tweak font-size #6 g-- }
will change the notehead's font size.
But you specifically tweaked Script,
so the notehead size stays unaffected.
To apply the \tweak to the tenuto item,
place it after the note item:
{ g-\tweak font-size #6 -- }
Read about this halfway down
