Ending slurs as Gould's recommendations?

Hello everyone,

I’d like to know - since “Behind Bars” by Elaine Gould is often quote as a reference here (which is great!) - if there is a way to set (as a default) slurs over tied notes as she recommands it - in example (a) - in his book (p.113).

jesele, yes that is the right place to look, but for example (a) from Gould there seems to be no option (to end the slur with the first whole-bar duration).
The slur can end on the start, like example (b) or the end of the tied note.

Haha sorry Mark I’ve messed up with my french… I’ve changed the title :wink:
But “preconiZation” seems to be a word in english too. :slight_smile:

Thanks @TylerE ! 2019, that’s a (very) long time request indeed!
Perhaps @dspreadbury can tell us more info about that ?

Yes, when I looked it up, I thought ‘preconization’ is a very appropriate word for Gould!
