Flute slap notation
It is possible to indicate special articulation techniques such as a
flute’s "tongue slap" by replacing the note head with the appropriate
glyph.
slap =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
#{
\override NoteHead #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob
(markup #:musicglyph "scripts.sforzato")))
\override NoteHead #'extra-offset = #'(0.1 . 0.0)
$music
\revert NoteHead #'stencil
\revert NoteHead #'extra-offset
#})
\relative c' {
c4 \slap c d r \slap { g a } b r
