Accent inside start/end of slur

I like the default option of having accent outside slurs as a general rule, but when there is a longer slur with every note being accented, I would prefer the accents at the extremes to be placed inside the slur as well.

Is there a specific option for this?
If not, is there a property for this?

Yes Michele, a property, which you probably used for your screenshot!

Well, I used a tenuto, just to discover that sforzato is different…

So no, I don’t find a property! :blush:

But there is an option!

Yes, but for when there are just two notes I want it outside the slur, as factory.
Only when there are many notes I would like it to be inside.

You are absolutely right Michele! And as you can see from my efforts in this post, the researches between Options and Properties in Dorico may become quickly nightmares :wink:

The simplest solution would be that of tenuto: if available for any articulation you could apply the property in/outside the slur also to accents…

It looks like articulations of duration do have the slur endpoint option, but articulations of force do not.
(I have no idea why there should be a difference!)

In the end it becomes a statistics game: if you have more longer slurs than shorter ones, then one uses the second option and changes the other manually. Otherwise, the opposite. I kind of recall an “avoid collision” option for this, but it is not there.
I wonder if this is a slip or an intentional design choice not to have it available for articulations of force.
