I have a piece in which each performer reads from a version of the score
with their staff full-sized with the other parts on small staves. This
pieces also requires a lot of manual tweaking of slurs.
I've been using \shapeII for the slurs, which works great, except that
if I shape the slur correctly for the full-sized version of the part it
is shaped incorrectly for the small version of the part and vice versa.
In order for the slurs to look good in both situations I need two sets
of \shapeII tweaks.
edition-editor looks like a promising solution, but I'm having trouble
learning how to use it. The only documentation I can find is the usage
examples here.
https://github.com/openlilylib/edition-engraver/tree/master/usage-examples
Each example is very specific, which makes it difficult to decode how
edition-engraver works in general. I guess my questions are
(1) Will edition-engraver work for tweaking slurs with \shapeII?
(2) If so, what should be my approach in terms of organization? My guess
would be to have 8 editions, a full-size version and small version for
each of the 4 staves, where each pdf uses 1 full-size edition and 3
small editions.
(3) How do I make certain 'editions' (at this point I'm questioning
whether I'm using that term correctly) apply to certain staves in each pdf?
(4) What is the basic syntax for using edition-editor? It's difficult to
tell from the examples in the repo what is the basic syntax and what is
extending it.
Thanks to anyone who can clarify.
Mason
