I have a quick thought. What about creating a new grob named CrossVoiceSlur, which would be identical to Slur in all ways except that its engraver, Cross_voice_slur_engraver, would be placed in Staff context by default? This way, one could use either normal or cross-voice slurs without messing things up. What do you think? I don't intend to go into a detailed discussion, since we're focusing on releasing 2.18, but i'd just like to know whether you consider this idea feasible or not. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
