RE: Re: Slur across voices without taking time with hidden notes

[Nick Payne]

Well I managed to get an acceptable result with the following:

 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\relative c' {

                \time 3/4

                \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn

                \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn

                <<{b'4\rest e,2}\\{a,2.}\\

                {

                                \hideNotes

                                \once\override Slur  #'minimum-length = #8

                                \once\override Slur  #'extra-offset = #'(1 . 0)

                                a8_( e'2) s8

                                \unHideNotes

                }>>

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

 

BTW, extra-offset is not documented as one of the slur settings in the Internals Reference. I found it in a couple of snippets in the repository.

 

There also seem to be inconsistencies or omissions in the documentation – eg  the PhrasingSlur #’positions property is given as an example in the Learning Manual but is not mentioned as one of the PhrasingSlur settings in the Internals Reference.

The problem there is that even with \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn and \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn, LP won't merge a half note with a quarter note, so the visible and hidden a notes aren't merged and the slur doesn't line up with the visible notes.  If I change the hidden a to an eighth note then the a notes merge but I still can't get the e notes to merge. I could muck around with positioning the end point of the slur, but the problem with that is that the bar is spaced differently when outputting an individual part as compared to the combined score, and so if the position is tweaked for one it's incorrect for the other.

You could try putting the slur in a completely different voice
altogether.
