Hi all,
I'm at a loss with the problem shown in the attachments.
I intend to engrave a piece with two pianos (actually a piano and a
synthesizer), where there are _many_ things going on between the two pianos.
The first is having grace notes or acciaccaturas in the "other" piano.
Writing it straightforwardly gives the attached image. When moving the slur
engraver to the Score context (which is what I was suggested to do) there
_is_ a difference (uncomment the \layougt definitions) but the result isn't
really better.
Of course I could start to tweak the slurs, but I don't think that is a good
idea at all.
Is there any way to make such cross-staff slurs behave better?
Urs
Hi Urs,
you could experiment with the following commands
\once \override Slur #'details #'edge-attraction-factor = #100000
\once \override Slur #'details #'max-slope = #800
\once \override Slur #'minimum-length = #6
Though, further tweaking maybe necessary.
