Good! Some of these are very subtle (the markings were added by me, and i'm an absolute perfectionist). > moreso with the slurs/ties so perhaps I will look into > focusing on those. ok >> On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 3:47 PM, [email protected] >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I'd first formulate the problem in aesthetic terms >>> (i.e. "The literature shows that beams usually do X, whereas LilyPond >>> currently does Y") and then read beam-quanting.cc to see why lilypond >>> does Y >>> and what types of modifications would be necessary to arrive at X. >> >> I think there might not be enough time to define all specific changes >> that are needed in beam positions or tie and slur shapes before >> application deadline - it's a lot of work.

Yup, there is little time left - only 30 hours. Some ideas for ties: - put some/more constrains on how much ties can move vertically - don't allow tie ends to touch stafflines - allow ties to be more arched - treat ties in chords differently than those connecting single notes. and slurs: - slurs should be allowed to cross stems - slurs should either cross stems of flats and naturals, or clear them - they shouldn't touch - slurs broken across line break should start later than they do now - broken slurs should be sloped smartly cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
