Re: making TextSpanner.style a very bold and large period

[Ryan Michael]

great! Thanks Carl. Question, you have dots, I have the dashed line. When I try: 

%%%%%%%%%

\override TextSpanner.style = #'dotted-line

 \override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = 0

    \override TextSpanner.dash-period = 5

    \override TextSpanner.thickness = 5

c\startTextSpan d e f g g g a  g f a g f a g  b,  b\stopTextSpan

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It just prints bigger dashes, while intermittently placing a "." at the period

length....

It looks to me like all they have done in that engraving is make the
TextSpanner font larger, and that's how the dots get bigger.

I've sent another email that shows how you will soon be able to get large
dots for the TextSpanner -- once it has made it into LilyPond.

Thanks,

Carl
