I have been using \shape to change the appearance of slurs and ties as suggested by this mailing list (thanks!). One thing I still need to know how to do: when a slur crosses a break, i can control the shape of the first part (before the break) but not the second part (after the break). Below is how I thought it might works, but apparently is doesn't.
\version "2.18.2"
shapeOne = \shape #'((0.0 . -1.0) (0.0 . 0.0) (0.0 . 0.0) (0.0 . 0.0)) Slur
shapeTwo = \shape #'((0.0 . 0.0) (0.0 . 0.0) (0.0 . 0.0) (0.0 . -1.0)) Slur
\relative c' {
c4 c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c \shapeOne d ( | \break
\shapeTwo c ) c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c |
}
Is there a way to change the shape of the slur to the first c in the fifth bar?
