In that period, I would have certainly expected most composers to be using slurs. Mozart certainly was, as evidenced by lots of his manuscripts. Gardner Read (page 265) says that they were commonly used in 17th and 18th century music, placing them over two notes of short duration to indicate accentuation. He also says that it was commonly used in the eighteenth century to indicate legato.
Finally I talked to my "customer", who asked for the slur-less version. Now the requirement has changed. She only wants the harp voice to have no slurs. Good that I have not removed any slur but suppressed it in the output.
Thanks for all the help regarding use of Lilypond and notation praxis. Regards, Helge _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
