Re: "Long" fermata above two notes

[Éric Bouvéron]

You may try a trick, to put the fermatta between the two notes, using; 
 
tweak  #'extra-offset #'(-x . y)
and a markup for the glyph fermata

%%-------------------------
%%definition  double fermata up & down
dlbupfermata =  ^\markup { \huge \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" }
dldwnbfermata =  _\markup { \huge \musicglyph #"scripts.dfermata" }

\relative c'
{ c re8 mi mi2-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . 1.2) \dlbupfermata
d4 d8 [ e~ e2]-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . -1.2) \dldwnbfermata
r4 d8 (e~ e2)-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . 1.2) \dlbupfermata
}
%%-------------------------
instead of  \huge you may use \fontsize #5

Hello,
I've been trying to typeset a piece of music that has a "Long" fermata above
two notes.
It is used sometimes to indicate the place where the soloist should play the
cadenza in a concerto. http://old.nabble.com/file/p27480522/Fermata11.bmp
Does anyone have any hints on how to typeset this?

Thanks,
Lucio
