Hi all you Slur-happy people,
1. Kudos to Mark for his amazing and generous contributions!
+1. Wow!
2. Does it (now) bother anyone else that dashed slurs do not look like
real slurs? I guess I always assumed — without visually confirming,
obviously — that dashed slurs were real slurs (that thickened and
tapered, etc.) with cutouts; I now see that dashed "slurs" are simply
dashed lines (of invariant thickness) which curve along the path that a
slur would take between two notes. What is standard engraving practice
when it comes to such things?
Cheers,
Kieren.
The publisher of my guitar music (Les Productions D'Oz in Quebec,
Canada) uses dashed slurs like these with invariant thickness to
indicate pull-offs and hammer-ons, and uses regular slur markings for
phrase slurs. I can't say that I've noticed dashed slurs in other
places before. Sylvain (the editor at D'Oz) always uses these
dashed-line things, though. It probably would look nicer if they
thickened in the middle and tapered at the ends. :)
