Re: performance marks
Many thanks to Robin, Curt and Leo for their suggestions, examples and the link to Harm’s code. The examples which were provided will provide exactly what I was looking for. Stan

I don't know about the phrase breaking, but you could try doing the
across-staff fingering with my undocumented code, called thumbBracket.
Look at the Reger 17 and 60 examples in the demo.
The .ily file provides the \thumbBracket funtion which the demo file
abbreviates to \thBr. You call this with a string parameter which
starts with the letter R or L, for right or left. You can then append a
digit to make the stem longer.
The attached files are updated versions which need 2.24 and should be ok
with Guile3.

In this case you will need to put the layer of the DynamicTextSpanner (or TextScript if you used a Text script) greater than the layer of SpanBar. There is an example of Using the whiteout property in NR 5.4.7 Visibility of objects > Painting objects white https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/painting-objects-white Kind regards, Xavier
broken bar line across staff
Hi all, My first post in this list. Is there a way to accomplish this? the bar line across the staff is broken to enable the text to be more visible Thanks Robert
