Hi,

do you mean something like this?

\version "2.14.2"

ligBr =
#(define-music-function (parser location music)(ly:music?)
#{
        \once\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup
\scale #'(-1 . 2) { "¬" }
        \once\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = \markup
\scale #'(1 . 2) { "¬" }
        \once\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left-broken #'text =
##f
        \once\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right-broken #'text =
##f
        \once\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #'0
        \once\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #'-1
        \once\override TextSpanner #'style = #'none
        $music
#})

ligBrBegin = \startTextSpan
ligBrEnd = \stopTextSpan


   \relative c'' {
                \ligBr e1\ligBrBegin d e\break
                f g a\ligBrEnd
   }

Cheers,
  Harm
