## 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
    }
