RE:Slur and acciaccatura in chords

[Stephen MacNeil]

Hi Abraham,

Thanks for all the help. I do like your code it works really nice. As for the voices

>And just so you know, the << { ... }\\{ ... } >> implicitly applies
>\voiceOne and \voiceTwo, so those are unnecessary.

I did realize that however  i read a post somewhere saying that if you explicitly reference \voiceOne \voiceTwo the slur may look better. Guess it was wrong since I did end up using \shape. Anyway I am wondering why when I add and extra voice using << { ... }\\{ ... } >> (as guitar voices sometimes are added and subtracted at random, the stem length changes.

\version "2.18.2"

%\include "../fonts/im/improviso.ily"

\relative c'{

\time 6/8

<e g c>8^"incorrect" <e g b> <e g c>

<<{\stemUp <\tweak Flag.transparent ##t e g>8}\\{\slurDown \stemUp \shape #'((0.2 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0.3)) Slur \acciaccatura d'8 c <e, g b> <e g c>}>> |

}

\relative c'{

\time 6/8

<e g c>8^"correct" <e g b> <e g c>

\shape #'((0.2 . 1.1) (0.5 . 1.5) (0.3 . 2.2) (0.1 . 2.8)) Slur

\acciaccatura d'8 <e, g c> <e g b> <e g c>

}

This is easily fixed however with

\override Stem.details.beamed-lengths = #'(3.5)

example:

\relative c'{

\time 6/8

<e g c>8^"incorrect" <e g b> <e g c>

<<{\stemUp <\tweak Flag.transparent ##t e g>8}\\{\slurDown \stemUp \shape #'((0.2 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0.3)) Slur \override Stem.details.beamed-lengths = #'(3.5) \acciaccatura d'8 c <e, g b> <e g c>}>> |

}

Anyway I was just curious on that.

Oh  I tried the fonts out, I am a big fan of font that looks hand written. So I really liked

improviso.ily. I have used jazzlily for a long time and was wondering has it been updated since before?

anyway

Thanks again
