I don't understand slurs either, but I'd just copy and paste that section a whole bunch of times, then tweak lots of slur properties and look at the results. Here's the options that I think you should play with first: attachment-offset beautiful slope-limit height-limit ratio control-points probably _would_ do it, but it looks as though you need to know quite a bit about how LilyPond's slur algorithms work in order to use it. IMO it's much easier to try setting #'beautiful to 0.01, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0, and 10.0. :) HTH, - Graham ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

It depends how you far you want to go. The best option would be an S
style slur, ie.
_/
/
but that is not supported by Lilypond out of the box. (Your slur
really is too difficult for lily)
Solutions:
a) force a linebreak halfway the slur
b) Do it manually (See 1.9 CVS)
\version 1.9.8
\header {
texidoc = In extreme cases, you can resort to setting slur
control-points manually. This involves a lot of trial and error,
though
}

\context Staff = up { \clef bass s1 * 6 }
\context Staff = down \relative c {
