Re: Holes in spanners for tall notes

[Caagr98]

That works great, thanks! I need to manually override Y-offset, but that's fine.

I also made this function to add holes in the bracket (requires setting the 
bracket's layer to -1):

whiteout =
#(define-event-function (x y) (number-pair? number-pair?)
   #{
     \tweak layer #0
     \tweak Y-offset #0
     \tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
     -\markup {
       \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
       \with-color #white
       \filled-box #x #y #0
     }
   #})
