Hi there, being rather limited in time at the moment I was very pleased to see that nonetheless I might have a chance to contribute. I don't know if anybody already started working on the tasks Graham proposed but I presume they would have posted it on list.
Adding avoid-slur settings to everything in scm/script.scm sounded sufficiently easy to me so I had a look at the file and started adding the settings. However, two tiny questions remain. Hopefully the answers do not cause more work than actually changing the settings themselves. ;-) 1) What precisely is the difference between the choices "around" and "outside"? Playing a little, I couldn't seem to come up with an example where both behave differently. From what I understand by digging in the regression tests this difference only affects dynamic scripts, right? (I only ask in case I need to know this in order to answer the second question.) 2) How to decide which choice to set for which script? Is this somewhat arbitrary or are there decisive rules? I suppose if the avoid-slur property of "trill", e.g., is set to "outside" in the current version of script.scm then all trill-like articulations should probably imitate this. On other occasions, however, I could only resort to my vague feelings of what looks right (which already mislead me in some cases where the setting was present in script.scm). Of course, I might have a look at some hand-engraved scores but I am not sure if I find examples of all kinds of scripts. Anyway, I would be grateful for any hints. Thanks a lot Max _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
