Re: Wavy lines - contemporary notation

[Rachel Green]

Thank you, Jean! Just what I needed! I tweaked a couple of settings so that the wavy line was centered with the staff and was slightly longer and thicker.

mySquiggle =

\tweak parent-alignment-X #RIGHT

\tweak extra-offset #'(1 . -4.5)

^\markup

\override #'(height . 2)

\override #'(thickness . 4)

\override #'(angularity . 1)

\draw-squiggle-line #3 #'(35 . 0) ##f

How can I create a wavy line as in this picture?

Best,

\relative c

  {

  \time 6/4

  \clef C

  \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic

  c’1 r4 r4

  }

Something like this?

\version "2.23.2"

mySquiggle =
\tweak parent-alignment-X #RIGHT
\tweak extra-offset #'(0 . -3)
^\markup
\override #'(height . 2)
\override #'(thickness . 2)
\override #'(angularity . 1)
\draw-squiggle-line #3 #'(15 . 0) ##f


\relative c
  {
  \time 6/4
  \clef C
  \repeat unfold 36 c'8
  \once \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic
  \once \textLengthOn
  c1\mySquiggle
  r4 r4
}
