I'm not totally sure. I play guitar a bit, and from what i know slurs are not exactly the same as hammer-on/pull-off. A slur means a smooth transition between notes, and of course hammer-on/pull-of gives a smooth transition, but i've also seen slurs in guitar music that are impossible to achieve this way - you just have to play smoothly. In other words, a slur says how the music should sound like, while hammer-on/pull-off say how to play it (what technique should be used). Thus, i think they should be separate things. I think i've also seen a special notation for them - iirc it was H or P attached to the slur or something like that.
But i can remove this from the project list to reduce confusion.
I think that the main point here is that we should document how lilypond works now.. and now if you use slurs you'll get hammer-on(s) and pull-off(s) in TabStaff. I know the notation using P and H, it was used some years ago and it's very rare nowadays. I think that it's just redundant and noisy: you can easily guess by the numbers if it's a hammer-on or a pull-off. It was discussed in the tablature mailing list: http://lilypond-s-support-for-tablatures.3383434.n2.nabble.com/ I see your point about the difference between slurs and hammer-on/pull-off, but it would take a lot of space to discuss it and it's probably off topic here. http://codereview.appspot.com/6190068/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
