I attach the source file (I hope this won't bother anybody :-). This is
done with \varline. AFAIR, varline is also useful to write steep
crescendos (maybe a 19-th century engraving habit), and to write two
or more *simultaneaous* crescendos for *one* instrument.
I had to cope with reasonable guesses, trials, and error to use varline.
I don't have any documentation.
So software improvements are welcome ! Another similar topic that
gave me hard time are slurs across a line break. AFAIR, MusixTeX
makes the right guesses for an ascending upper slur, or a descending
downslur, but not for the opposites.
