This is one of the most annoying bugs in LilyPond (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=379). The usual workaround (apart from really hairy manual curve hacking) is to use a phrasing slur: \(d4. \melisma cis8\) \melismaEnd You'll need the explicit melisma commands since there's no equivalent of slurMelismaBusy for phrasing slurs. > Also, another problem I'm having: is it possible to have a slur/tie go in > different directions before and after the break?

Any thoughts? Try using the snippet from section 6.8 `Difficult tweaks' in the Notation Reference: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Difficult-tweaks#Difficult-tweaks You can substitute the 'extra-offset override for 'direction: (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'direction UP) Regards, Neil _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
