Re: drawing glissando line with (gliss) as text across line

[Ryan Michael]

Interesting. your example works perfectly in itself. But when I port it over to my score I get the following error: 

 Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting Stencil): ()

I believe it calls it on this line: 

     (spanner-stencil-x-length (interval-length (ly:stencil-extent spanner-stencil X)))

Here is a gist of the score: https://gist.github.com/ebbnormal/62a8893942a5e6f91735afdf77f2081a

I basically make a simple call to \glissandoTextOn as you do before I use \glissando. 

Any ideas?

Hi Ryan,

attached some old code of mine, still compiling, could likely need
some revision, though. Maybe somebody can provide something more up to
date.

Anyway, hth,
