Hi Jay,

I tried to change the tiedNoteToSkip procedure to also skip slurs. For some reason, it does not seem to work the same way. It skips the first note in a 3 note slur, but not the second. 

No time to look at this in depth, but my first guess is that you need to find a way to remember that you still have a slur between the event that creates it and the event that terminates it.

To see how the music _expression_ is different for slurs versus ties, compare the output of the following:

 

\displayMusic {

  c''4(  b' c'')

}

\displayMusic {

  c''4~ c''~ c''

}

You'll see that for slurs, there is a SlurEvent with span-direction which begins and ends the slur, but no "evidence" of a slur in between.  Ties are from note-to-note, and apparently there was thought to be no need of both initiating and terminating events.  How you'd ever get this to work with tieWaitForNote set to #t, I couldn't say.
