Dear David,
thanks for Your help.
I found out, that I can get a dashed hairpin with   \once \override Hairpin #'style = #'dashed-line
What I would like to do is getting a + and an "o" at the beginning and the end of the hairpin.
The "o" is easy to get with
  \override Hairpin #'circled-tip = ##t
But how I can do it with the "+"-sign?

I'm not sure exactly how you want your wah-wah effect to appear, but for starters you can go here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#index-Feta-font

...to find the glyphs you need.  The ones you need are listed under "Script glyphs."  One is "stopped" (looks like '+') and the other is "flageolet" (looks like a small circle).  There is also "open" which looks like a small letter 'o'.  I've normally seen the little circle (I'm a trombonist).  I don't know how to do this without experimenting with it but if you want '+O' I suppose you could create a script called 'wah' or something and combine them together side-by-side.  This would mean 'wah' on a single note.  If you wanted the effect to span two or more notes I think you should be able to put the '+' over one note, the 'o' over the other and put some sort of dotted/dashed spanner between them.

Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment but I hope this is helpful,

David

Dear community,
I've created a little image (with another program) to illustrate what I'm thinking of.
