Line arrows
Arrows can be applied to text-spanners and line-spanners (such as the Glissando).

Making slurs with complex dash structure
Slurs can be made with complex dash patterns by defining the dash-definition property.
dash-definition is a list of dash-elements. A dash-element is a list of parameters defining
the dash behavior for a segment of the slur.
The slur is defined in terms of the bezier parameter t which ranges from 0 at the left
end of the slur to 1 at the right end of the slur. dash-element is a list (start-t stop-t
dash-fraction dash-period). The region of the slur from start-t to stop-t will have a
fraction dash-fraction of each dash-period black. dash-period is defined in terms of staff
spaces. dash-fraction is set to 1 for a solid slur.
\relative c' {
\once \override
Slur #'dash-definition = #'((0 0.3 0.1 0.75)
(0.3 0.6 1 1)
(0.65 1.0 0.4 0.75))
