Making slurs with complex dash structure
Slurs can be made with complex dash patterns by defining the
dash-definition property. dash-definition is a list of
dash-elements. A dash-element is a list of parameters
defining the dash behavior for a segment of the slur.
The slur is defined in terms of the bezier parameter t which ranges
from 0 at the left end of the slur to 1 at the right end of the slur.
dash-element is a list
(start-t stop-t dash-fraction dash-period). The region of the
slur from start-t to stop-t will have a fraction
dash-fraction of each dash-period
black. dash-period is defined in terms of staff
spaces. dash-fraction is set to 1 for a solid slur.
\relative c' { \once \override Slur.dash-definition = #'((0 0.3 0.1 0.75) (0.3 0.6 1 1) (0.65 1.0 0.4 0.75)) c4( d e f) \once \override Slur.dash-definition = #'((0 0.25 1 1) (0.3 0.7 0.4 0.75) (0.75 1.0 1 1)) c4( d e f) }
