I have a passage similar to the following: \version "2.18" \language "english" \relative c''' { \grace { f8( } c,8 b c2.) } In context, the automatic slur ends up looking very disconnected from the grace note, and in some instances colliding with a downward stem. Is this a bug? Is there a way

Flipping the slur avoids the worst problems, but it's not really correct. Ideally, it should bend dramatically underneath the stem then upwards towards the grace note. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Ugly-slur-with-large-leap-help-tp198395p198401.html Sent
