Hi everyone! In a composition I’m transcribing, there are double slurs between some notes (see attached image, also uploaded at [1]), and the lower slurs are right next to the note heads, inside the beams – whereas when typeset by LilyPond, the slurs are outside the beams. I’m wondering what the best way is to move the slurs inside the beams. Searching the internet, I found one prior thread for this issue [2] – but in that case, it turned out that the score actually had a tie and a slur, not a double slur, and after one slur had been turned into a tie, the other slur could be tweaked without difficulty. In my case, however, I’m definitely dealing with a double slur (four different pitches), and I haven’t found a way to tweak the two slur halves independently – if I tweak, for instance, the extra-offset, both parts of the double slur move, which I don’t want. I did find one workaround, and I’ll describe it just in case someone else with the same problem finds this email later, but it is horrible: 1. Introduce an auxiliary voice with the << { … } \new
Voice { … } >> construct. This hack is awful enough that, as much as I want to reproduce the printed score accurately, I’m not yet sure whether I will end up using it. It’s also not perfect – LilyPond still prints warnings about “too many clashing note columns” (due to the hidden but not omitted NoteHead, I guess). Does anyone have better ideas? :) Cheers, [1]: https://i.imgur.com/awenjmf.jpg |
