> Subject: how to increase Slur padding?
> Hi all,
>
> In a current engraving project, I’ve got lots of slurs which I don’t have
> time to \shape manually. Mostly, I’d just like a little more "padding"
> between the slur and the highest note in an arpeggiating pattern:
>
>
> This could either be accomplished by making the slur a little "taller", or
> moving it a little up, or both.
>
> I tried to adjust #'padding, but that didn’t work. I looked in #'details,
> but couldn’t make heads-nor-tails of which one(s) of the many parameters
> would be the one(s) to adjust.
>
> Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

> Thanks,

Not sure if this got answered, but I was going through my inbox and found
this question and figured better late than never.
Also, your example image was cropped, so I didn't see the exact figure you
are working with, so I made one up that looked similar.
Re: how to increase Slur padding? (Kieren MacMillan)
\version "2.18.0"
\include "english.ly"
music = \relative c'' {
\key a \major4
\time 3/4
cs8 ( a' cs cs, a'4 )
}
\score {
<<
\music
>>
\layout {}
}
\score {
<<
\music
>>
\layout {
% For slurs like yours, that span an octave, this needs to be
larger than 4
\override Slur.height-limit = 5
% Larger values of this create bigger curves. I think the default
is 0.3
\override Slur.ratio = 0.5
}
}
