Flam Slur Positioning

[mdowden]

I’m trying to create snare drum flams, and I was able to flip the slurs after grace notes but would like to move them closer to the noteheads.

Is there an easy way to do this so I don’t have to manually change each one? None of the Engraving Options I’ve tried seem to affect it.

That depends on what one considers easy.

So far the easiest way I’ve found is to just select all the ties, and manually edit the offsets, but I’d prefer to just change a default setting so they always display the way I want.

Hi @mdowden, starting from default settings, here the result, changing only this two global Engraving Options (since these are global settings, check if the other slurs in your project are displaying as desired as well):

Result:

Thank you, that worked well!
