Re: Using the 'avoid-slur property (redux)

[MING TSANG]

David, 

Please take a look at the .png screen capture and the .ly file.  The "mf" was place inside and outside the slur.

\version "2.17.95"

\markup "with outside-staff-priority = #500............."

\relative c {

\override Slur.outside-staff-priority = #500

f16\mf( f a'8\p a8)

}

\markup "with outside-staff-priority = #0............."

\relative c {

\override Slur.outside-staff-priority = #0

f16\mf( f a'8\p a8)

}

Emmanuel,

Ming

I play with #555.  I change it to #0 (or #5) and it works.

Question:  what is the difference of # number #555 and #0 (or #5)?

Well, in this case, none.  Neither DynamicText nor Slur has a default setting of 'outside-staff-priority.  So any value you give to Slur.outside-staff-priority (even -3000) is going to get the same result.  Now, of course, if you were trying to get a RehearsalMark to be under the Slur, you'd have to select a value for Slur.outside-staff-priority that's greater than the value for RehearsalMark, which is 1500.
