I suppose you're referring to PMX. It's true that PMX is oblivious to any intervening notes when deciding how to set a slur. But it's not true that one would *always* have to adjust the slur manually to avoid stem crossings in such cases. For example, if the stem directions of all the notes in the slur were the same, then the slur should still be OK unless one of the intervening notes is well removed from the line between the first and last note, and then only if the offset is in the direction opposite the stems. It would be exceedingly complex to design an algorithm that checked for this...it would not only have to know the lengths of all the stems (which varies) and their anchor points, but also the exact shape of the slur. Does anyone know if any of the "big boys" like Finale and Score can do this? --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
