Hi Calixte,
it should be possible to create an engraver that solves this. The
following things to keep in mind for that:
You can set the properties, which trigger melismas
\set melismaBusyProperties = #'(melismaBusy slurMelismaBusy
tieMelismaBusy beamMelismaBusy)
If slurMelismaBusy and beamMelismaBusy are *not* set, an engraver could
pick up the (Staff-)context-property 'melismaBusy and add slurs/beams
accordingly.
Unfortunately I don't have time to do it now, but perhaps someone else
is able to?
I'd say it would be a good feature netherless I prefer the traditional
style.
Best,
Jan-Peter
