Hi Janek, > Could you send me a few examples of the old behavior (lilypond code, > lilypond output, documentation) so that i could quickly estimate the > difficulty of the task?
Unfortunately, the docs and download archive only goes back to v2.6, and I'm pretty sure we lost Slur #'attachment in v2.4.2, if not earlier. Here's a search of the list (showing others who feel/felt the same way as I did when the feature was withdrawn): <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=slur+attachment&submit=Search!&idxname=lilypond-user&max=20&result=normal&sort=score> The old behaviour was, for example, \override Slur #'attachment = #'(head . stem) to force the slur to go from the [left-hand] notehead to the [right-hand] stem tip. In a new implementation it could, I suppose, simply calculate the corresponding positions and modify Slur.positions accordingly. In any case, a setting like this would save a huge amount of manual effort and trial&error. BONUS: I would love for something like the following: "stem" is a constant -1, "head" is a constant +1, so one could use \override Slur #'attachment = #'(L . R) where L and R are numbers representing the position ***relative to 0, which is the center of the stem***. Does all that make sense? Thanks, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
