Feature request - Slur Positioning

[Nico_Schliemann]

Hey there,

I’m taking a deeper look into the notation and engraving options at the moment to set up my prefered style.

I came across the “Slurs Over System Breaks” parameter, where you can define the horizontal offset from the last bar line, when a slur crosses from one system to the next. Who’s with me and would love to see a vertical version of the parameter too, to define, that open slurs at the system end maybe end 1.5 or 2 spaces above the staff lines and not so close to the top or bottom line, so that you have to manually adjust every slur crossing systems?


Regards

Nico

This one’s been on the todo list for a very long time. The development team have committed to doing something about it in future.

That’s good news. I thought that this might have come up before, but haven’t checked the forum for this.
I’m just randomly coming up with stuff as I go.

I doubt that the vertical positioning problems over system breaks can be solved with a setting. The trick is getting Dorico to recognise all possible contexts. I have high hopes for the team!
