Slur position accounts for omitted stem

2016-12-19 Thread Br. Samuel Springuel
In the following snippet I've got two slurred notes that are fairly far apart. This leads to one having a natural stem up and the other down. Naturally, when those stems are present, LilyPond should move the slur so that it doesn't collide with the stems, as is shown in the first Staff.

Hi again Samuel, great that you find it useful. Yes, the minimum-length is well-tweakable; the default will likely be different in the "final" version. This version for killing extenders is my old and home-grown solution for my use cases and by no means optimized. It's not been long since
