Dashed individual staff lines: Difference between revisions

You can customize a staff so that some (or all) of its lines are dashed instead of solid. This snippet defines a ~~music function~~ called ~~"~~dashedStaffSymbolLines~~"~~ that replaces specified lines of a <code>StaffSymbol</code> with dashed lines. For example, the following ~~will replace~~ the center line of the staff with a dashed line:

You can customize a staff so that some (or all) of its lines are dashed instead of solid. This snippet defines a command called <code>\dashedStaffSymbolLines</code> that replaces specified lines of a <code>StaffSymbol</code> grob with dashed lines. For example, the following replaces the center line of the staff with a dashed line.

~~<code>~~\dashedStaffSymbolLines #'( #f #f #t #f #f )~~</code>~~

\dashedStaffSymbolLines #'(#f #f #t #f #f)

A list containing booleans (#t and #f) indicates which lines are to be dashed. (#t means dashed, #f means normal and unchanged)

A list containing booleans (<code>#t</code> and <code>#f</code>) indicates which lines are to be dashed. (<code>#t</code> means dashed, <code>#f</code> means normal and unchanged)

The width of the dashes and the spacing between them can optionally be customized by adding a pair of values as the first argument when calling the function. The first number of the pair is the width, the second is the spacing. (The default is 0.5 for both.) The following ~~will create~~ wider dashes (1.5) with more space between them (1.2):

The first number of the pair is the width, the second is the spacing. (The default is 0.5 for both.) The following creates wider dashes (1.5) with more space between them (1.2).

~~<code>~~\dashedStaffSymbolLines #'(1.5 . 1.2) #'(#f #f #t #f #f)~~</code>~~

\dashedStaffSymbolLines #'(1.5 . 1.2) #'(#f #f #t #f #f)

The function also works with staves that have different numbers of lines and/or different line positions.
