Reposting for clarity as to what I’m asking.
In the second case below, instead of the slur attaching to the specific
note, it moves vertically—I assume, to avoid collision with the duration
dot. (Though it’s interesting that a tie does not mind overlapping the
dot, as in the fourth case.)
In the second case, how can I either—
* Allow the slur to overlap the dot (the code shown below does not
work), or
* Move the left anchor of the slur horizontally past the dot, so they
don’t conflict?
Obvious searches like [lilypond chord slur dotted note]
<https://www.google.com/search?q=lilypond+chord+slur+dotted+note> do not
turn up mention of this, or of any tweak to avoid this. Any hints?
