Re: Changing the staff switch line to a dashed or dotted line

[Lukas-Fabian Moser]

Hi,

    \override VoiceFollower #'style  = #'dotted-line'  

Here is the mistake: The ' before dotted-line is not a quotation mark that needs a twin. It's just #'dotted-line oder #'dashed-line.

Also, in recent versions, there is the following more convenient syntax:

\override VoiceFollower.style = #'dashed-line

More details on fine-tuning can be found here:

For instance, it is explained that a dotted-line is just a dashed-line with zero dash-fraction (length of the dashes). For me, it seems sensible to increase density if you want dotted lines:

\override VoiceFollower.dash-period = 0.2

Best
