Re: PhrasingSlurDashed

[Mats Bengtsson]

I still recommend lilypond-user for this questions on
how to use the program, the lily-devel list is mainly
devoted to specific questions regarding the latest
development versions. The \slurDashed command
included in LilyPond is just a shorthand macro with
the following definition:
slurDashed = {
 \override Slur #'dash-period = #0.75
 \override Slur #'dash-fraction = #0.4
}

If you want to typeset dashed phrasing slurs, you can
include a similar macro definition yourself at the top of
your .ly file (or in some separate file that you can \include
where you need it). In this macro, just replace Slur by
PhrasingSlur:
phrasingSlurDashed = {
 \override PhrasingSlur #'dash-period = #0.75
 \override PhrasingSlur #'dash-fraction = #0.4
}
