To which functions in particular are you referring?
I’ve slowly been building a SchenkerLily framework over the last few years, and
the only thing I’ve seen is <http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=501>, the
inelegance of which was precisely what inspired me to start working on a
SchenkerLily framework in the first place…

I understand that, of course.

Oh, I understand that. My point was more philosophical: I was trying to answer
David S’s implication (or at least my inference from what he wrote) that
there’s *no reason* why slurs might consider adjacent slurs for potential
collisions.
Cheers,
