Hello, 2012/10/11 Urs Liska <[email protected]> > Hi list, > > several months ago David Nalesnik (together with input from others) > updated the older \shape function that allows shaping the control-points of > curve grobs - which provided a massive increase in productivity when > dealing with slurs etc. > For example, one major improvement was the handling of broken curves. > > After it was finished the function has been incorporated in LilyPond's code > (http://code.google.com/p/**lilypond/issues/detail?id=2572<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2572> > **) > and was recently changed further > (http://code.google.com/p/**lilypond/issues/detail?id=2873<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2873> > **) > > However, David removed one very interesting feature from the function in > order to be able to provide a more concise and clean patch.
