Comment #6 on issue 2858 by [email protected]: Document \shape music
function
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2858
The inability of \shape to work as a tweak always seemed like a shortcoming
to me, and I assumed that a separate command would be needed. A quick test
(see attached) shows that the approach which David K. outlined does work
for curves including LaissezVibrerTie and RepeatTie, and also that it can
be used as a tweak with broken slurs as well.
The only misgiving I have is the way the grob name follows the
sometimes-rather-long offset in the override form. It looks a little odd
to me, that name stranded at the end like that. Further, as I write the
command, I generally think: "shape the slur with these values..."
But, really, I think the advantages gained are significant.
