Flute slap notation
It is possible to indicate special articulation techniques such as
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
