Yes! Thank you Peter (and Urs), I think now it's clear!!!! Lilypond use a "postfix" syntax. To apply a function 'f' to the note 'a' the lilypond syntax is "a \f" and not viceversa. Because the open parenthese is like a function (a function that marks the first item) it must be written as for all the other function: after the note.
Of course, everything is possible, and we could make the lilypond parser more complex and use the other notation for the slur issue. But this has been considered not important :) -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/slur-syntax-tp176928p176957.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
