Re: Slurs are better than ties at automatically avoiding collisions

[bruys .]

Dear Nick,

Looks like a good thing to try, when in difficulty.

There isn't any collision avoidance occurring, of course; slurs are
usually placed further away from the notes than ties.

If you make the middle voices vacant, you can see this.

\relative c'' {

   % \\ { s1 }
   \\ {}
   % \\ { b,8 g a b ~ b a b a }
   \\ {}
   \\ { g,2 g }
>>
}
