Didn't you change any of the placement settings?OCTO wrote:Here are my settings:John Ruggero wrote:So far, only OCTO has manage to accomplish this, and I would love to know how he did it!
Thanks, tisimst!tisimst wrote:I realize that most of the discussion has been around Finale's settings, but I thought I'd share this if anyone is interested. In LilyPond, to go from the top system to the bottom (i.e., ignoring collisions between slurs and accidentals), it is done by adding the tweak
\override Slur.details.accidental-collision = 0
which basically eliminates the penalty of such collisions from the slur optimization and gives the following:
I don't want to change my default settings; I just thought that it would be interesting to see exactly what settings would be necessary for the remaining difficult cases.I'm sorry, but I guess I don't see why you would want to set up your default settings to fit only a very limited number of cases.
Yes, these are also easily changed with (default values shown):Knut wrote:Thanks, tisimst!
The slur tips are way too thick for me (which, I'm guessing, can easily be adjusted), but apart from that, these examples make it pretty clear just how superior Lilypond's default handling of slurs is to Finale.
I used my default scaling factor of 1.414. Apart from that, my font is a bit more space effective than Maestro, which might contribute slightly to this impression.John Ruggero wrote:I wonder if Knut and maybe OCTO have introduced more space, which makes dealing with this situation easier.

\override Staff.Slur.thickness = 1.2
\override Staff.Slur.line-thickness = 0.8
The line-thickness property is the diameter of the virtual pen that traces the top and bottom curves that make up ties/slurs. The thickness property is the maximum thickness between the same top and bottom curves (not including the line-thickness). The line-thickness property controls the thickness of the end-points, but the sum of the two properties controls the apparent "thickness" of the tie/slur, here 1.2 + 0.8 = 2.0 which is a multiple of the staff-line-thickness. So, to cut the end-point thickness in half, but keep the same maximum thickness, you'd do something like the following:
\override Staff.Slur.thickness = 1.6
\override Staff.Slur.line-thickness = 0.4
so we get the same staff-line-thickness multiple of 1.6 + 0.4 = 2.0. Here's that those change look like:
I am unsure what your question is here...John Ruggero wrote:OCTO. would you wish to tell me what the vertical settings for items 2-4 would be in your normal setup?
