Great start Urs! 

Thanks :-)

Why do you invert the stem direction in the first beat
from (at least my copy of) the original? Having the RH 6tuplet stems up
would seem to allow for closer staff spacing...

That's because I didn't look at that score. I copied it from the 2010 Henle edition. Actually the trigger to do finally enter this was to see that Henle's slurs suffer from the same shortcoming as my compound slurs: becoming so thin at the inflection point(s).
Now looking at the original edition I think you're right, the stem directions are more favourable in terms of space. I don't know if that's an engraving or editorial decision at Henle.

Lots of lilypond challenges in this piece. 

Fortunately only for LilyPond and not for the player ;-)

Looking forward to your
compound slurs on the penultimate page of the final movement!

I don't know if I'm going to do a lot of them.
But that would actually make a terrific project for a "free edition" ...

Just for reference, attached you'll find my preliminary result with a
compound slur that is somewhat more "mainstream" than the original
Sorabji example :-)

Hi all,

it seems to me this should be easily doable, but I don't find the
right incantation.

I would like to force some space between the first group in the right
hand and the following grace notes. This is necessary in order to 
squeeze a slur between them, coming from the dis in the left hand.

>From the manual I found

        \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.padding = #10

looking like it's what I need. But used like this it introduces space
between *all* notes, regardless of where it is placed. Trying to use
it with \once it doesn't have any effect (using 2.19.52).

Any suggestion would be welcome.

Urs
