Re: boxed measures

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Nick,
I've modified Your code a little bit.
Unfortunately I'm not able to move the brackets vertically.
Do You know hot to do this?
Thanks for Your help
Stefan
\version "2.13.3"

  e e e -\rechtsKlammer

The box could be drawn with Postscript. Here’s an example of drawing large square brackets with Postscript. Easily modifiable to draw a box:

 

\version "2.12.1"

 

#(define lbracket "0.25 setlinewidth

                0 setlinejoin

                0 setlinecap

                0.5 -2 moveto

                -2 0 rlineto

                0 8.8 rlineto

                2 0 rlineto

                stroke")

#(define rbracket "0.25 setlinewidth

                0 setlinejoin

                0 setlinecap

                0.5 -2 moveto

                2 0 rlineto

                0 8.8 rlineto

                -2 0 rlineto

                stroke")

 

\relative c' {

                c4-\markup { \postscript #lbracket } c c c-\markup { \postscript #rbracket }

}

Dear community,
I would like to do something like You can see in the attached image.
I don't mean the feathered beams (I know how this can be done) but the boxed bars, followed by the dotted lines.
I have no idea how to do this in Lilypond.
A hint would be great!
Thanks
Stefan
