Hi Karlin "Unclear documentation can be improved. Need a reference for it, though; where was this found?"
I'm talking about the following page: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/learning/ties-and-slurs.en.html The page states: "A slur is a curve drawn across many notes. The starting note and ending note are marked with ( and ) respectively. " To me this says that a slur should be written (g b d g), with the first note inside the slur. That would align with ABC notation which I'm more familiar with. Instead the correct syntax should be: g (b d g) I'd modify the explanation as follows: "A slur is a curve drawn across many notes. The starting note and ending note are marked with ( and ) respectively. The opening paran should be placed after the first note of the slur, and the closing paran should come after the last note. For example: g (b d g). " Personally I prefer the syntax used by ABC notation, with all notes of a slur inside the parans, but I don't see it being changed at this point.
