Re: reference for well-shaped slurs

Thanks for your response, Andrew. Since you say that you use \shapeII frequently, I wonder if you ever find that \shapeII creates an upside-down slur like in the first example of mt previous message, or that it sometimes causes systems to appear on top of each oth er, as below? Are these

Re: reference for well-shaped slurs

Hi Mason, I use \shapeII extensively. I think the point about engraving is that while rules based, it is an art, and the result depends on the skill and good taste of the user. There is no definitive 'good slur'. The function therefore has two uses, one to fix lilypond slurs that are not

reference for well-shaped slurs

\shapeII works very well for tweaking ugly slurs. The only problem is that, while it is easy to identify "bad" slurs, I find it difficult to determine what makes a slur "good." It seems that the more time I spend tweaking a slur the more I overthink it and the less sure I am of how it should

Re: [OT] Search for Morgensterns Galgenlieder for choir

Shane, we didnot sing in a church, this was a youth choir which was connected to the town of Gelsenkirchen. I have already ask the school where we rehearsed whether there are "relicts" of this youth choir which was disbanded when the conductor died some 20 years ago. I am waiting for a response.

Thanks for this enlightning contributions. No, I am not sure about Kodály. I now have contacted Universal edition about to send me a picture of Mátyás Seibers Gespenst (a capella for mixed choir SATB), where I could not find any score in the net. The one Arne mentioned may be the one we sung, but
