Subject: Slur over a single note
Hi,
I'm in need of an idea how to approach this: I need to print a slur over a single note.
More concretely there already is a markup with a certain width above the note (see attached image), and I need to print a slur over that markup (see second attached image).
It should be possible (I think) to hook into the stencil callback, take the markup stencil and produce a new slur stencil from scratch. But until now I have only taken an existing slur stencil and worked with that, so I'm at a loss
as to how I can add a new slur stencil to the existing one.
I've come to the point where I can access the markup as a stencil in the "stencil" override. From here I want to add an additional slur stencil, aligned to that markup stencil and add it to the whole result.
You might work with a bezier-sandwich-stencil, which is what both slurs and ties are constructed from.
See scm/stencil.scm
HTH,
