I have two tied notes followed by a third note: should the slur ending on the third note start on the first or the second of the tied notes.
And a related question: if one uses so-called "European" ties that look like slurs and a note has both a tie and a slur starting (or ending) on it, does one simply move the slur vertically to avoid the collision, or does one also move the tie a bit horizontally, and perhaps the slur also, so that less vertical movement is required?
Thanks,
Dennis
Personal opinion and nothing more: while I have seen both publications and finale output by amateurs that would slur from the 2nd note I find it confusing and never use it myself. The slur covers all 3 notes, and I run it from the 1st note to the 3rd. The ties are within that slur. Others may differ.
