Hi all,

I found another issue while trying to wrap my head around when exactly the completionBusy and melismaBusy should be set.

In the following MWE, the positioning of slurs over notes splitted by the Completion_heads_engraver lacks something. (See the attached image.) Obviously, there are things that it cannot be reasonably expected to cope with (e.g., making no completion on staccati, or pushing a fermata to the last note head), but slurs seem like a common thing in, e.g., baroque music where I expect a use for the Completion_heads_engraver.

(For "PhrasingSlur"-like, I refer to https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/56941/should-slurs-encompass-tied-notes-from-before-and-or-after which is non-authoritative, but the accepted answer somewhat matches my intuition. I typically prefer the first variant for clarity, though, if space allows.)


\version "2.19.82"

\paper { ragged-last = ##f }

\markup "e.g., Boosey & Hawkes (PhrasingSlur-like); also recommended in Gould p. 62"
\score {
  { b2 b2(~ b2 a2~ a2 b2~ b2) b2 }
}

\markup "also correct, perhaps better for non-vocal music (personal opinion)?"
\score {
  { b2 b2~ b2( a2~ a2 b2)~ b2 b2 }
}

\markup "half-baked output with Completion_heads_engraver..."
\score {
  { b2 b1( a1 b1) b2 }
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Voice
      \remove Note_heads_engraver
      \consists Completion_heads_engraver
    }
  }
}


I presume that means that I'll have to resort to two different sources for Mensurstriche and "modern" layouts, but I mention it anyway for the sake of completeness.


Cheers,
Alex
