This is still not a perfect solution, because ties and slurs differ in their
end point locations, and with postscript slurs/ties, in their shapes as
well. Christian's solution produces a slur for the inner mark rather than a
tie.
In looking at this example, I just realized that the M-Tx default is
bitmapped slurs/ties. As most PMX users are aware, there are some
differences in functionality as well as appearance between bitmapped and
postscript slurs/ties. In my view, postscript slurs/ties are superior
because they remedy various shortcomings of bitmapped ones. Furthermore, I
don't know any reason not to use the postscript ones. Therefore, all
slur/tie development in PMX for quite some time has been targeted toward
postscript slurs/ties, and no modifications, upgrades, or accommodations
have been or will be made for bitmapped slurs/ties.
Therefore, to get the best result in this example, meter.mtx should be
modified as follows:
================================
...
%% Ap
a-2d o> a8 r r a r r a2d o> |
C: dfsa cea cea dfsa
d-2d o>-15 a4 a { [h d8 {2u d+ ] d2d }2 zd- } |
================================
