Because it states "So some 'fully tie and slur' syntax would be ideal. Some ideas:" This is not a solution. It is a proposal for user interfaces for the not-yet-existing solution. > An example of what I want is attached as well as a brief snippet of code > which demonstrates that I am unable to get the desired effect. > > \version "2.18.2" > > \new TabStaff { > \tabFullNotation > < bis'\1 g\4>16[( < fis'\2 ees\5> < g d>)] > } At the current point of time, slurs are only from one chord in a Voice to the next chord in a Voice. So you'd need to put your notes into different Voice contexts in order to be able to slur them individually. However, Stems are strictly a single-Voice phenomenon. So you need to put your notes in the same Voice. Solutions to this contradictions may involve putting invisible noteheads in a separate Voice and place a slur to them, or move the Stem_engraver to Staff level (which is infeasible if you ever have more than one Stem per timestep) or create an optional context level below Voice level and move the Slur_engraver there. Or wait for someone to implement slurs starting from a particular note rather than a whole chord. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
