Re: New, more powerful version of \shape!

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi all,

while I am not that active with lilypond these days (distracted from 
family and work ;) ), I'd like to be ...
just my opinion on this topic:
How can lilypond create the publication-quality slurs I or whoever wants?
Yes, of course there is always room for making it better ... but IMO we 
need "shape" and similar functions, because most times there are more 
than one optimal shape. Technically lilypond may calculate what looks 
best in terms of the predefined rules - but that may fit 19th century 
piano-music best, but might not be optimal for 21th cent. choral-music 
... or whatever.

So I appreciate the afford of making shape more intuitive to use.

Best, Jan-Peter
