Re: How to make slurs ignore stems?

[David Nalesnik]

Hi Jakub,

In regular modern scores it is logical that the ends of a slur attach to a notehead or to an end of a stem, depending on the direction of stems of the notes connected by the slur.

I'm typesetting chant transcriptions and make stems transparent:
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
Some slurs, attached to invisible stems, then "fly high over the notes".

Is there any way to tell LilyPond to ignore stems when making slurs and attach slur always to noteheads?

 

There are probably better ways to go about this, but this seems to work:

\version "2.15.16"

\relative c'' {

  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t

  \override Stem #'Y-extent = ##f

  c( a g)

}
