Here's a quick test of Kieren's suggestion, showing first the overridden
slur and then one without the override. Not too hard to do as long as
there aren't too many.
This slur setting would be the norm. If it's too much work, I'll have to
give up Lilypond. I'm not actually even studying it for myself, but to
teach someone else to use it. He is much less computer savy than I am,
so even without this complication teaching (and using) would be a
challenge. I got this other person to change from Windows to GNU/Linux a
couple of years ago, and I whish I wouldn't have to put Windows back to
his machine (or tell him to use proprietary software - if avoidable).
I understand. It "is" possible to run Finale on Linux under Wine,
though, so if he really can't manage Lilypond but does o.k. with Linux
in general, then perhaps he could just run the occasional proprietary
piece of software under Wine. I've gotten the Finale demo to run nearly
perfectly under Wine, with playback and everything. I don't have an
installation disc, though, so I can't install a full copy. The only
problems I have are that the piano braces and ties look funny. Still,
you can view and play back files, and if you have the full version, you
can save and share files with others. I like to have the demo installed
in case my students send me Finale files, but that's really the only use
I have for Finale now that I've gotten comfy with Lilypond :)
This is a good trick to know. Thanks Kieren :)
\version "2.11.61"
\relative c' {
\once \override Slur #'positions = #'(2 . 2.5)
fis4^( gis) g^( c,) d8^( d e c)
}
To make sure that I don't misunderstand, does "#'(2 . 2.5)" mean that
the hight of the start and end points of the slur should be set manually
(in some units) for every slur?
Ari
Afraid so. The 2 is for the left side, and the 2.5 is for the right
side. Unfortunately it won't work very well if you try to use a single
setting for all the ties. You'll have to set them individually for each
one.
