One of the most often occurring problems with hairpin notation is to
exactly define the end or start point. For example, to do this:
_______________
/
\_______________
o o | o | o
| |
I have to say
<< { \stemBoth c2 c2 | c1 } \\
{ s4 s2.\< | s2.. s8\! } >> | c1
What about extending the syntax for \< ... \! (or rather, the syntax
for spanners) to provide commands which accept an argument like this:
c2\<<{s4} c2 | c1 \!!{s2..}
This is just an ad-hoc notation, but you get the picture I hope. I'm
quite sure that it is already possible to provide a proper scheme
function which does what I want, but IMHO such a feature is so
important that it deserves a \...{ } command. Or can (with the help
of scheme code) I already define a \... macro which accepts an
argument in braces afterwards?
