Re: Slurs and ties — most difficult to make: developer has to think about them before his work.

[Simon Albrecht]

Hi Miroslaw,

again: this is not a very good bug report as described on our website: 
<lilypond.org/bug-reports.html>. Please be specific, report one 
well-defined problem and not a major rant of seven items. As Thomas 
already said – code examples are quasi-mandatory, except for very 
special cases.

LilyPond’s automatic formatting is very good, but it doesn’t work 
equally well in every possible case. For that, tweaks are available, 
like \shape. (You’ll find that in the manuals.)

I can assure you that a lot of thought has gone into the development of 
LilyPond… and some really good thought, as well, I daresay.

I don’t think LilyPond needs to hide from its competition, even in that 
respect.

Well, if you don’t like it, nobody forces you to keep with it…

Best, Simon
