RE: Weird behaviour with TupletNumber.avoid-slur (beam disappears)

Risto,

 

Not knowing the requirements/necessity of your putting the slur above the beam, I would put the slur down – closer to the note heads. This would/does avoid conflict with the number.

Hi Mark,

I need a slur. It was quicker to write a bunch of same notes. I tested it again with different pitches and it gets even weirder.

Please check the first and the third tuple. They are different for some reason. The beam is horizontal so I'd expect the slur ends be on the same level, too. In my real example I get the first one. I'll try to tweak the control points but I don't think I should. The fourth one is the one I'd like to have.

\version "2.19.49"

\relative c'' {
  \time 4/4
  \tuplet 3/2 {a8^( g) a}
  \once \override TupletNumber.avoid-slur = #'outside
  \tuplet 3/2 {a8^( g) a}
  \tuplet 3/2 {a8^( g) a}
  \once \override TupletBracket.padding = #1.6
  \tuplet 3/2 {a8^( g) a}
}

Risto,

 

Looking at the .png, do you want a slur or a tie?

I have tried two alterations (in 2.18.2):

1.      Changing pitches to “g^ (a) b” and the number is positioned correctly.

2.      Changing from a slur to a tie, “g^~ g  g ” and the number is positioned correctly.

Hi,

I tried to keep the tuplet number from colliding with a slur by using TupletNumber.avoid-slur = #'outside. It has worked before ~2.12.XX but with 2.19.49 something weid happened. The tuplet beam disappeared (actually was shortened and moved to the left of the staff, see the red circle).

Even without the avoid-slur the slur and the tuplet number behaved differently depending on which beat the tuplet was on.

The third one is the expected (but not ideal) way LP prints this. The fourth is the weirdest one with avoid-slur. The second one is something quite interesting.

Thankfully, there's TupletBracket.padding that bails me out.
