Re: Tweaking Y-offset of an accent with a slur

[Knute Snortum]

Tweaking padding works great for the accent, but in a more complete example of my problem, I now can't get the ottova bracket to move up.  (In the example, the bracket doesn't need to move, but in the full piece it does.)

\version "2.19.15"

\relative c''' {

  \tweak Y-offset #2 \ottava #1

  \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 2) (0 . 0)) PhrasingSlur 

  f \( a c4 -\tweak padding #1 -> ( a ) \)

  \ottava #0

}

There's a conflict between Slur and Script, which avoids the tweak
taking effect.

If you add
\override Script.avoid-slur = #'ignore
it works.

Though, why not tweak padding, seems more appropriate.
