Re: making TextSpanner.style a very bold and large period

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Ryan,

Yes, at 2.19.41 specifying dotted-line style for text spanners just uses tiny 
dashes that look a bit like dots, and you can’t make them larger.

I have scheme code to do what you want, but it is underdeveloped in that it 
does not deal with line breaks yet.

In the meantime, since you can draw dotted lines using graphic markup commands, 
why not just use markups for now, and forget about the text spanner in your 
context?

    \override #'(thickness . 6)
    \override #'(off . 1)
    \draw-dotted-line #'(10 . 0)
  }
