Re: special symbols

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Francesco,

All you need is here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/graphic.fr.html

For instance, you can do:

\version "2.18.2"

zzTail =  {
  <>
  -\tweak extra-offset #'(-0.5 . 3)
  -\markup {
     \with-dimensions #'(0 . 4.5) #'(0 . 0)
     \path #0.2 #'(
       (moveto -0.5 -1.5)
       (lineto  0.5  0.5)
       (lineto  1.5 -1.5)
       (lineto  2.5  0.5)
       (lineto  3.5 -1.5)
       (lineto  4.5  0.5))
  }
}

hArrow =
  \markup
  \raise #0.6
  \concat {
    \override #'(thickness . 1.4)
    \draw-line #'(2.5 . 0)
    \hspace #-.6
    \arrow-head #X #RIGHT ##f
  }

\relative g' {
  \key g\minor
  \omit Stem
  \tempo \hArrow 4 = 60
  g g g g
  \zzTail
  s
}

HTH,

Pierre

Hi,

here <http://tinypic.com/r/2cihc0w/8> you can see a file with some
graphics that I would like to render in my lilypond document.
The symbols are circled in red in the image:
1) the top one is a sort of bar sign with a zigzag tail, I want to use
it with the  meaning "keep going with this pattern";
2) the left one is a special sign I need to add to the \tempo indication, an
arrow pointing to the right, meaning "60 and more".

Now, I can imagine that symbol 1) can be rendered with some postscript
tweaks, I just want to make sure I am not missing anything that might
be easier than starting embedding postscript in the score (I am not
looking for the "%" like sign used to repeat the previous bar).

As for 2), I have no idea how I can make it. Well, maybe I could use
again a custom
symbol added with a markup to the first note of the measure, but then
I'll have to take care of the "note = beat" and make sure it is
uniform with the other standard tempo notations in the score... a
complication that I'd
prefer to avoid.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Francesco
