yes, and also notationally superior. But the client is, alas! a hobbyist-composer who does things for "expressive" reasons and insists they should be that way (I once got nearly into a shouting match because he had directly translated the German "Attacke" [which means something like "strike hard"] to the Italian "attacca" [which, as we know, means "continue without break to the next movement"] and wouldn't believe he couldn't use the latter as an expressive marking until I made him look it up in his music dictionary). I would also point out that he puts a phrasing slur on *every* phrase, throughout the piece, so this is a recurring issue. Sigh. > but I guess you could play around and offset the slur to taste... > [see attached] > > Ah, thank you. And I also see that it's in the NR at 5.5.4. Very helpful! Am I correct in assuming that (phrasing)slurs are bezier curves, and thus the four control points listed for \shape behave the way bezier-curve control points do? Thanks again, A
