Hello,

     I'm having trouble entering the following fragment of music:

\version "2.12.2"

\relative c'' {

\partial 32 cis32~( |

f16 e \times 2/3 { f des a } \times 2/3 { e d c } aes32 g'16.) ees32 b g d e gis c e |

}

The slur goes to the first high f, then stops, and I get a warning: 

cannot end slur.

I've tried overriding various Slur properties, but nothing seems to 

get the slur to extend all the way to the g.

If anyone has any advice or reference links, it would be greatly 

appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonathan

You never start a slur. There's a tie in the first measure, but then in the second measure you have a slur ending, but never beginning. Incidentally, many text editors will let you go to the matching parenthesis, and that would show that there is none.
