slur-interface

A slur

de-uglify-parameters (list):

list of 3 real constants. They define the valid areas for the middle control points. Used in de_uglyfy. They are a bit empirical. Default value: (unset)

details (list):

alist of parameters for detailed grob behavior. Default value: (unset)

attachment (pair):

cons of symbols, '(LEFT-TYPE . RIGHT-TYPE), where both types may be alongside-stem, stem, head or loose-end. Default value: (unset)

direction (direction):

up or down, left or right?. Default value: (unset)

attachment-offset (pair):

cons of offsets, '(LEFT-offset . RIGHT-offset). This offset is added to the attachments to prevent ugly slurs. [fixme: we need more documentation here]. . Default value: (unset)

beautiful (number):

number that dictates when a slur should be de-uglyfied. It correlates with the enclosed area between noteheads and slurs. A value of 0.1 yields only undisturbed slurs, a value of 5 will tolerate quite high blown slurs. Default value: (unset)

y-free (number):

minimal vertical gap between slur and noteheads or stems. Default value: (unset)

control-points (list):

List of 4 offsets (number-pairs) that form control points for the tie/slur shape. Default value: (unset)

extremity-rules (list):

an alist (procedure slur dir) -> attachment to determine the attachment (see above). If procedure returns #t, attachment is used. Otherwise, the next procedure is tried. Default value: (unset)

extremity-offset-alist (list):

an alist (attachment stem-dir*dir slur-dir*dir) -> offset. The offset adds to the centre of the notehead, or stem. Default value: (unset)

thickness (number):

thickness, measured in stafflinethickness. Default value: (unset)

dashed (number):

[FIXME: use dash-period/dash length; see text-spanner] number representing the length of the dashes. Default value: (unset)
