Re: Tie with slash (caesura) on the curve

Hi Pierre

It works!

Thank you SO much!  I would never have been able to do that on my own.

Good to see you are still around Lilypond!

Andrew, yes it is for guitar

Thanks again!

Never say anything is technically unplayable for pianists. Some of the technical ability of contemporary players leaves me breathless.

Actually it's for guitarists ;)

I am trying to notate ties with a double-slash (caesura) along the curve.

How about:

\version "2.22.0"

oldTie = \once \override Tie.after-line-breaking =
     #(lambda (grob)
        (let*
         ((stencil (ly:tie::print grob))
          (dir (ly:grob-property grob 'direction))
          (markup-stencil
           (grob-interpret-markup grob
             (markup #:scale (cons .8 0.5)
                     (#:musicglyph "scripts.caesura.straight"))))
          (shift (- (interval-center (ly:stencil-extent stencil X))
                   (interval-center (ly:stencil-extent markup-stencil X))))
          (new-stencil
           (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge stencil
            Y dir
            (ly:stencil-translate-axis markup-stencil shift X)
            -.63)))
         (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'stencil new-stencil)))

{
  \clef"G_8"
  f'16 16
  \oldTie
  8~ 16 16 8
}

HTH, cheers,

Pierre
