line-spanner-interface

Generic line drawn between two objects, eg. for use with glissandi. gap is measured in staff-spaces. The property 'type is one of: line, dashed-line, trill, dotted-line or zigzag.

dash-fraction (number)

Size of the dashes, relative to dash-period. Should be between 0.0 (no line) and 1.0 (continuous line).

dash-period (number)

the length of one dash + white space.

gap (dimension, in staff space)

Size of a gap in a variable symbol.

style (symbol)

a string determining what style of glyph is typeset. Valid choices depend on the function that is reading this property. .

thickness (number)

thickness, measured in stafflinethickness.

zigzag-length (dimension, in staff space)

The length of the lines of a zigzag - relative to zigzag-width. a value of 1 gives 60-degree zigzags.

zigzag-width (dimension, in staff space)

the width of one zigzag-squiggle, measured in staff space. The width will be adjusted so that the line can be constructed from a whole number of squiggles.

This grob interface is used in the following graphical objects: VoiceFollower and Glissando
