Re: I want ledger lines in middle of staff, or dashed staff lines

[Mats Bengtsson]

As far as I can see from the implementation, the ledger lines are only
typeset if the note pitch is outside the staff, so some C++ hacking would
be needed to get a clean solution for you. It should be possible to fool
LilyPond, though, by typesetting the note heads one octave too high
(for example) so they get ledger lines, and then move everything back to
the desired position using extra-offset for all involved layout objects.
