Re: Need help with two tweaks

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Sam,

for 1) you can do something like

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove Dot_column_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists Dot_column_engraver
  }
}

<<
  { <c' c''>2. } \\
  { \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #2.5 <bes' g'>2. }
>>

This is not as dynamic as we’d want it to be though.

@2) Either set doubleSlurs to #t or use the \=[someID] notation, so using 
<g\=1( d\=2(> you can start (and similarly end) multiple Slurs at the same 
time. This will most likely need to be manually placed though.

But arguably it might not be a good idea to create too many Slurs for chords, 
because it tends to get hard to read, and it might cause situations where you 
confuse such slurs for ties.

Cheers,
Valentin
