Cross-staff phrase marks

Are Bezier curves practical for making inter-voice and cross-staff phrase marks in LilyPond? It looks as though this could be quite labour-intensive, so any pointers or examples before I start could be useful. It's for a piano piece where a long melody moves between soprano, alto and tenor

moving slur attachment points globally

Hello all, Is it possible to have slurs start at the “4:30” position of the left notehead, and end at the “7:30” position of the right notehead (where “textbook slurs” would begin and end at the “6:00” position of both noteheads)? If so, what is the general setting that would make this happen

Re: Using path expressions to override stencils

Hi Paul, If you are using 2.19 you might want to use "make-path-stencil” instead. (It is not in 2.18 and so not in the LSR yet. Although maybe we should add it commented out?) It calculates the extents of the stencil for you so you don’t have to specify them. See below. Cheers, -Paul

I also made a quick test with Finale Songwriter. I created a simple woodwind-quintet composition from the template and exported to midi file. Key signature is in the control track and has only one value, eventhough there is e.g. one Bb instrument in the quintet. Finale Songwriter then fails to
