Acciaccaturas under slurs
Using Lilypond 2.12.1 Normally an acciaccatura is slurred to the following note. However, in wind music for instance, sometimes an acciaccatura occurs during a passage which is slurred already. In that case there is no reason to print an extra slur on the acciaccatura. In Lilypond, if I enter: a4( \acciaccatura b8 c4 d) I would expect to see three crotchets (A, C and D), slurred from the A to the D, and with an acciaccatura B on the C. In practice, I find that Lilypond prints the notes correctly, but finishes the slur on the C and gives a cannot end slur warning for the ')' marked on the D. It does not print a small slur from the B to the C, which is fine so far as I am concerned! How can I persuade Lilypond to print a slur correctly from the A to the D? Any advice gratefully received!

You can kind-of fake it with a phrasing slur. \( \) This runs into problems if you want an acciacatura, slur, and phrasing slur, though. If you really need that, I'd fake the accia slur with postscript. Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

OTOH, if you don't need the slur from the acciaccatura, you can use
\grace with a Stem override:
\relative c' {
a4(
\once \override Stem #'stroke-style = #grace
\grace b8 c4 d)
}

Oh! :-( How can I persuade Lilypond to print a slur correctly from the A to the D? You can kind-of fake it with a phrasing slur. \( \) Brilliant - that works a treat. Doing it this way does produce the usual (but here unnecessary) slur from the acciaccatura to the following note, but I can live with that. This runs into problems if you want an acciacatura, slur, and phrasing slur, though. If you really need that, I'd fake the accia slur with postscript. I rarely use 2 layers of slurs, so it is unlikely to be a problem to me. Thanks for your speedy reply!
