This might be the closest I can get to a tiny example right now. It isn't
exactly doing what it's doing in my score. In my score there is more space
between the voice and piano. Where it says crystal in this example is where
the slur is colliding with the lyrics in my score. The accompaniment is
chords, the melody is approximately correct.
I used \shape in this example to move the end of the slur up a bit at the
end of the first measure, but I don't think it changes the rest of the slur
after the break. I am wondering why this is? And how to correct it?
I guess I'm looking for any advice on how you prefer to tweak your slurs.
How do you all do it? What's easiest for you and why?
I really prefer using lilypond, but my teacher may actually make me get
Sibelius when he sees all these slur mishaps lol. I've used lilypond for
years because I loathed Finale. I just still have a lot to learn and
understand.
