Re: PhrasingSlur-Slur conflict

[Sean Reed]

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the reply.
I've put together what I think is a relatively straightforward, step- 
by-step presentation of the problem I'm having.
Hope it helps.
I added the second bar of eights because the effect is more  
noticeable in a narrower bar.

Best,
Sean

\version "2.11.0"


% all looks fine; one outer PhrasingSlur and a small Slur in the  
MIDDLE of the gesture
{
        \relative c' {
                c'16\( f, f f f f f( f f f f) f f f f c'\) |
                f8 f f f f f f f |
        }
}

% huge PhrasingSlur by adding a small Slur on the first two notes
{
        \relative c' {
                c'16\(( f,) f f f f f( f f f f) f f f f c'\) |
                f8 f f f f f f f |
        }
}

% now you can't make the PhrasingSlur smaller by adjusting height- 
limit; (can make it larger, however)
{
        \override PhrasingSlur #'height-limit = #0.1
        %\override PhrasingSlur #'height-limit = #20.1
        \relative c' {
                c'16\(( f,) f f f f f( f f f f) f f f f c'\) |
                f8 f f f f f f f |
        }
}

% PhrasingSlur looks better when changing the Cs to Fs, but still  
much larger than the first example
{
        \relative c' {
                f16\(( f) f f f f f( f f f f) f f f f f\) |
                f8 f f f f f f f |
        }
}

% note: all looks fine if the PhrasingSlur is automatically placed  
above the notes with the smaller Slur below the notes
{
        \relative c' {
                c'16\(( f,) r8 f16 f f( f f f f) f f f f c'\) |
                f8 f f f f f f f |
        }
}
