Re: not so nice slur

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Stefan,

> Yes, I'm trying to make it not cross through the stems

Here's one option:

\version "2.12.0"
\include "english.ly"

slurFix = {
  \once \override PhrasingSlur #'height-limit = #4
  \once \override PhrasingSlur #'ratio = #0.6
  \once \override PhrasingSlur #'positions = #'(7 . 7)
}

\relative g {
  \clef bass
  \key c \minor
  \time 4/4
  \slurFix <g c ef g>4\( <af c ef af>
    << { <ef' g>8. <d f>16 } \\ { <g, b>4 } >> <ef g c ef>\) |
}

Play around with the different parameters to get exactly what you want.

HTH!
Kieren.
