Comment #6 on issue 2858 by address@hidden: Document \shape music  
function
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2858

The inability of \shape to work as a tweak always seemed like a shortcoming  
to me, and I assumed that a separate command would be needed.  A quick test  
(see attached) shows that the approach which David K. outlined does work  
for curves including LaissezVibrerTie and RepeatTie, and also that it can  
be used as a tweak with broken slurs as well.

The only misgiving I have is the way the grob name follows the  
sometimes-rather-long offset in the override form.  It looks a little odd  
to me, that name stranded at the end like that.  Further, as I write the  
command, I generally think: "shape the slur with these values..."

But, really, I think the advantages gained are significant.
