Well, in this case, I’m engraving a Schenker graph… so I doubt anyone will be playing it. ;) But regardless of the meaning of it… it’s a collision, and Lilypond should handle the case accordingly, no? > In the normal case one wants slur to go at least to the vertical centre of > the notehead, probably a little further, and this is what Lilypond does. Yes. But Lilypond corrects for the presence of (and potential collision with) articulations, etc. — why not for the presence of (and potential collision with) another slur? > For a specialized case such as the example shown, the slurs can of course be > tweaked. I’m hoping there’s a global setting, rather than a [time-consuming] slur-by-slur manual approach: in Schenker graphs, this construct is very common, and it would be a shame if one couldn’t set a "horizontal padding" between adjacent slurs.
