In reference to this post I would like to write a scheme function in Lilypond which would help me not to manually define the position of each point of the lines.
Here a simplified example of the problem:
\version "2.24.1"
samplePath =
#'(
(moveto -4.96 0)
(lineto -1.7 2)
(moveto 1 0)
(lineto -1.7 2)
)
\score {
\new Staff {
\time 1/4
\clef "treble"
\override Beam.positions = #'(5 . 5)
\override Beam.transparent = ##t
g'8 d'^\markup \path #0.1 #samplePath
}
\layout {}
}
I have 2 8th notes to which I removed the beam. Then on top of these notes I add a \markup
statement which calls samplePath
, a function which draws diagonal lines from the top of the note stems to a fixed point ((-1.7 2)
in this case).
How I could formulate a Scheme function that accepts a list of notes and draws the lines that converge to one point getting the top position of each note stems? Is it even possible?
I took inspiration from this manual page but not knowing scheme
and being a beginner in Lilypond I struggle to understand the Internal Documentation.
Thank you!
