Subject: Re: Slurs do not work with Larsen articulations


That sounds good to me.
Thanks for the feedback.
In case it's not clear, my pseudo-objection to the wording

+Note that @code{[} and @code{]} do not enclose the notes to be
+slurred.
is that the ( and ) literally *do* enclose the notes that are slurred, except 
for the first. I get that the intent seems somehow different between 'a( b c)' 
and '(a b c)' in terms of what the parens mean, but the 'b' and 'c' still are 
enclosed by the parens even in the LilyPond syntax.
Since they only enclose *all but the first* note of the slur, they don’t 
enclose the notes to be slurred.
a b ( c d ) will not put a slur encompassing c and d, but encompassing b, c, 
and d.  That is the primary mistake that newcomers make.
But the wording that you helped me to see is probably clearer, so I will 
certainly go with that.
Thanks,
Carl
