Subject: how to increase Slur padding?
Hi all,
In a current engraving project, I’ve got lots of slurs which I don’t have time to \shape manually. Mostly, I’d just like a little more "padding" between the slur and the highest note in an arpeggiating pattern:
This could either be accomplished by making the slur a little "taller", or moving it a little up, or both.
I tried to adjust #'padding, but that didn’t work. I looked in #'details, but couldn’t make heads-nor-tails of which one(s) of the many parameters would be the one(s) to adjust.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Not sure if this got answered, but I was going through my inbox and found this question and figured better late than never.
Also, your example image was cropped, so I didn't see the exact figure you are working with, so I made one up that looked similar.

\version "2.18.0"
\include "
english.ly"
music = \relative c'' {
\key a \major4
\time 3/4
cs8 ( a' cs cs, a'4 )
}
\score {

\music

\layout {}
}
\score {

\music

\layout {
% For slurs like yours, that span an octave, this needs to be larger than 4
\override Slur.height-limit = 5
% Larger values of this create bigger curves. I think the default is 0.3
\override Slur.ratio = 0.5
}
}
