Actually you were right! But even if slurs may be prefered to be attached closer to note head, it shouldn't go after the notecolumn!

Nice to hear that the problem wasn't my beginner code but something else! About the 'details' commands like "same-slope-penalty", "steeper-slope-factor, "non-horizontal-penalty"... is there any place where it is explained or do we have to guess what it affects?

I will try the Openlylib tomorrow, last time I tried, I didn't understand it completely... Urs Liska-3 wrote > Of course it lacks these.

Still, tweaking a score with a graphic interface is pretty easy and could be achieved quite fast. For now, I don't know how it is possible for me to be as efficient with text! I guess anyway nobody can answer that for me! For now, I feel faster to input the music, and much much slower to escape to the default output! -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
