Hi Richard,
Thanks for your clarification.
My problem is: How does one know at which moment something, for example a slur,
or the call for the grob "slur", is started? A case in point is \arpeggio.
Naively one may think this command has to be placed before the notes, not
after. Wrong! No idea why.
I realise that my intuition is sometimes correct, or that up till now I've just
got away with my mistakes.
Maybe rules, general and/or specific, concerning the placement of commands,
like \override and \tweak, can be found somewhere in the documentation, but so
far I have not seen any.
Best regards,
Robert
