Hello. I guess there might be some bugs: the 'minimum-length parameter affects slurs made with ( ), but not slurs made with \( \). Byt the way, what I thought is a slur, is perhaps a tie. I know rather little about the music notation, this is why I do not want to send the questions to the bugs li

Hmm, that's a problem. One ugly workaround might be to include a transparent note that extends over the full 5/8 measure, since LilyPond won't break a line in the middle of a note. Try something like \new Voice \repeat unfold 10 {\hideNotes c8*5} in parallel to your current music. /Mats Kieren
