Re: Note whiteout

[Andrew Bernard]

Well, answering my own question here. The following works, but now I feel the need to ask is the best way to do this sort of operation?

\version "2.19.17"

treble = \relative c'' {

  \override Stem.layer = #3

  e'

  \change Staff = "bass"

  \override NoteHead.layer = #3

  <e,,,, g,>-\markup {

    \with-dimensions #'(0 . 3) #'(0 . 0)

    \with-color #white

    \filled-box #'(-1 . 2.5) #'(3 . 7) #0

  }

  \change Staff = "treble"

  g'' c

  c1

}

bass = \relative c {

  \clef bass

  <c, f c,>1 ~

  <c f c,>

}

\score {

  \new PianoStaff

  <<

    \new Staff = "treble" \with {

    }

    { \treble }

    \new Staff = "bass" \with {

      \override LedgerLineSpanner.layer = #10

    }

    { \bass }

  >>

  \layout { }

}
