Paul,

 

A slur, or a tie, cannot be written from a single voice into a polyphony. Try starting the polyphony with the third blue note. The other voice would have an “s4.” Then the slur should work.

Dear All, here is perhaps a silly little question. 

I am trying to get a slur from a crotchet "into" one of the voices in a 

polyphonic voicing. In measure 1 the third blue note should have a 

slur connecting it to the next blue note, which is in the polyphonic part. 

I tried ( ) and \( \) with no success, so something special is perhaps required ? 

 

Also, to avoid continually inserting \tweak #'color #blue

I wrote a function 

 

BN =

#(define-music-function (parser location)()

   #{

     \tweak #'color #blue

   #})

 

But this won't work in a chord < \BN > or a part with two voices <<{\BN } \\  {}>> etc. 

Is it possible to use a function for this purpose or must the change of color 

be written out each time ? 

 

Kind regards Paul
