I'm happy to announce the first public draft of NR 2.9 World music. Please let us know about anything that's unclear or any omissions. Don't bother telling us "you haven't included Cuban drum notation", though -- this section is strictly on a volunteer basis. We're only looking for omissions in

That's exactly the result I was looking for and demonstrates just how versatile Lilypond can be with the necessary know-how. Although this certainly serves as a work-around, I'd still be interested in sponsoring a solution where Lilypond can work out the control points itself. The mark is quite

More complicated shapes would normally be implemented as two cubic Bézier curves spliced together. This would work quite well for the shape you want. Here's a lash-up using three spacer notes in parallel to carry two slurs, just to show what could be achieved (this is hardly a practical techniq

Thanks for the response, but as you say, the overall shape of the tie gets lost with the loop. Would this be horrendous to implement as a new feature, and if it is feasible, how would I go about sponsoring? David. --- Original Message --- From: "Trevor Daniels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:

You -can- make a cubic Bézier "loop-the-loop" by crossing over the two intermediate points, but then there is not enough control left to achieve a nice downward shape on the two halves. Also you would need to tune every such slur manually, which is quite tedious. Here's an example which shows wh
