Hello,
When working with the manually shaped slurs using the \tweak control-points
approach, I've got the right output, but with the following programming
error: bounds of this piece aren't breakable that always happens when the
shaped slur is attached to the last note in a measure.
*Minimal failing example*
\version "2.23.14"
\relative {
\repeat volta 2 {
g'1( |
\alternative {
\volta 1 { g2 g) | }
\volta 2 {
g2 g
\tweak control-points
#'((-5.5 . -3.0) (-3.5 . -3.0) (-1.5 . -3.0) (-0.3 . -2.0)) ( <>)
\bar "|."
}
}
}
}

The output is rendered, but with the below programming error
GNU LilyPond 2.23.14 (running Guile 2.2)

Success: compilation successfully completed
*Minimal working example*
However,* if there is a rest* after the note with the attached shaped slur,
there is no programming error
\version "2.23.14"
\relative {
\repeat volta 2 {
g'1( |
\alternative {
\volta 1 { g2 g) | }
\volta 2 {
g2 g4
\tweak control-points
#'((-5.5 . -3.0) (-3.5 . -3.0) (-1.5 . -3.0) (-0.3 . -2.0)) ( <>)
r
\bar "|."
}
}
}
}

What is the reason for the programming error in the failing example? Is
there a way to get the output from the failing example, but without the
programming error?
Thank you,
Vlad
