double dot articulation

[Federico Sarudiansky]

Hello, 

besides de LSR solution given by other user (http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=772) I wrote this: 

#(define-markup-command (puntitosmarkup layout props cant) (number?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
          #{ \markup  {
              \halign #(+ (* 2.5 cant) -6)    
              $@(map (lambda (x) #{
               \markup { \hspace #0
                 \musicglyph "scripts.staccato" }
              #}) (iota cant)) } #}
          ))

\relative c' { c2:8 _\markup \puntitosmarkup #4  }

I did it because I want to add a little slur below (or above) to indicate, for string players, that those notes should be played in the same bow. 

My approximation to that is

#(define-markup-command (puntitosligadosmarkup layout props cant dir) (number? number? )
   (interpret-markup layout props
          #{ \markup  {
              \override #(cons "direction" dir)
              \tie
              \raise #0.2
              \puntitosmarkup #cant } #}
          ))

\relative c' { c2:8 _\markup \puntitosligadosmarkup #4 #-1 c'2:8^\markup \puntitosligadosmarkup #4 #1 }

which seems to work in version 2.20.0. 

I'd really want to improve this, converting it to a script stencil in the way the solution in LSR works, but I didn't fint at least for now.

Regards!
