Re: making a dashed line from one staff to another

[Andrew Bernard]

G’day Dan,

Try this (\with-dimensions being the key point):

== snip

rightOne = \relative c' {

  f16 aes des ees ees,16 aes c ees

}

leftOne = \relative c' {

  \tuplet 3/2 { c8 bes aes' }

  \once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'( 1 . -3 )

  \acciaccatura {

    bes,16^\markup {

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

      \override #'(thickness . 0.7)

      \override #'(off . 0.3)

      \draw-dashed-line #'(1.9 . 6.9)

    }

    c

  } bes4

}

\score {

  \new PianoStaff

  <<

    \new Staff = "right"

    { \rightOne }

    \new Staff = "left"

    { \leftOne }

  >>

}

== snip
