They don't support vertical lines. Yes, that's what I realized ... Please take a look at the recently added functions ly:length ly:angle ly:directed They will usually make it easy to do the operations you want. In particular ly:directed can also use a vector as a direction without ever calculating its angle. Thanks! From looking at the docs it seems they'll do exactly what I want (and had partially implemented in Scheme). Can't wait to return to my LilyPond computer :-) I think I now have it in a state where we can work from. The angle of the inflection is now given as an angle relative to the line connecting the end points of the whole slur. While an angle relative to the horizontal line would be somewhat more straightforward I think this approach is more robust against changes (for example when the slur is cross-staff and the staff-staff distance changes). TODO: a.. support more than two segments (shouldn't be *that* difficult, just tedious and slightly complex) b.. support broken slurs (each sibling should be togglable between multi-segment or not, and it should be \shape-able) c.. support Slur, PhrasingSlur and Tie (like \shape) d.. specify shapes as polar coordinates (or all options that \shapeII has) The code is now at https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/compound-slur/notation-snippets/shaping-bezier-curves Best Urs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
