Hi all, in order to improve the multi-segment slurs I would like to know if it is possible to get information about arbitrary grobs from within an event function.
Concretely I would like to know if there's a way to get hold of the coordinates (anchor points) of an arbitrary other grob from within a function defined as "define-event-function". I would like to somehow "tag" the other grob in the input file in order to get and keep some kind of "handle" to it and then access its coordinates in an event function. The idea is to be able to define the inflection point of a multi-segment slur relative to one or more other items on the page. For example between two notes. Anchoring such complex slurs on other items like notes or stems or beams will significantly increase the chance that changes in layout may keep the slur intact. My question is: is there a way to get the necessary information at the right processing stage. I see that when saving some values in a music- or scheme-function this is available in the event-function of the compound slur. But probably it's not possible to retrieve the positioning data at that point yet. Any pointers?
