Hello David, hello Urs,

thank you very much for these improvements!

I have a tiny addition: PhrasingSlurs
--snip--

shapePhrasingSlur =

#(define-music-function (parser location offsets)

(list?)

#{

\once \override PhrasingSlur #'control-points =

#(shape-curve offsets ly:slur::calc-control-points location)

#})

--snip--


Cheers, Jan-Peter

    Hi David,

    now I tested your new function.
    OK, I didn't test more than the sources you provided, but I think
    they give all the necessary combinations.

    So my conclusion is: This is awesome!

    I won't ever live without this (as long as LilyPond is concerned)
    anymore - as long as it won't get broken by new versions.

Great!  I'm very happy to hear this!

    One idea to make it even more comfortable and generic to use would
    be not to hard-code the color within the function.
    If one could somehow set the color outside the function one could
    personalize it to ones needs.

    As this is kind of a library thing, I think it isn't necessary to
    make this settable at runtime through the function call.
    Maybe one could define a variable for the color above the
    function, setting #black as default.
    Then anybody can easily see how to adapt it even if she/he doesn't
    understand the function itself.
    Ah, I just realized that this way one could still set the color in
    the music source by redefininge the variable ...

    I would be happy about this enhancement.
    But I really have to admit that this is quite low priority because
    the function is already extremely helpful.


This isn't difficult to do. As you say, you could define a variable for color above the function. All you would need to do then is replace red with the name of the variable in the two places it occurs. In the attached file, I do this and give several ways of specifying the color you want. (Of course, it's the last definition that is actually used.)


    Best and thanks again

    Urs


You're very welcome!

Best,
David
