I've added this \beamsToSlurs snippet to the LSR: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=998 I don't think the music example illustrates the use case as well as it could. If anyone has a better example, reply with it here and I can replace the music in the snippet with it. -Paul -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/undefined-tp174666p175527.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
