It was “Adjusting slurs and ties in LilyPond”, from this group’s archives: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-10/pdfn4OnsjHZAm.pdf
Some of the features look very handy to describe control points as polar coordinates, but I don’t want to drop in a whole mass of code just for that. I did find a snippet (also from this group’s archives) for displaying the actual control points, which helped immensely with tweaking Lukas’s example, and also discussion of being able to do it in Frescobaldi under Layout Control Mode, which appears to have moved to Tools/Viewers/Layout Control Options but now has no option for displaying control points. > On Aug 16, 2023, at 12:56 PM, William Rehwinkel > <will...@williamrehwinkel.net> wrote: > > What PDF did you find this in? > > -William > > On 8/16/23 12:50, Jin Choi wrote: >> I came across a PDF describing updates to \shape that let you use head >> centered coordinates and polar coordinates that would make this easier.
