Hi Lucas,

Might be. Sorry if you can’t take advantage of it. (Related: I recommend you
consider using the "unstable" version regularly: I use it exclusively, for
mission-critical day-to-day work as a professional composer and arranger, and
have problems so seldom that I can say “never” and kind of mean it!)

Precisely so.

Actually, the slurs *do* [perhaps surprisingly!] align to the notehead — too
closely, in fact, as you can see from the untweaked snippet:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.80"
stuff = {
<b'\=1 _( f''\=2 ^(>16 <c''\=1 ) e'' \=2 )>8
<b'\=1 _( f''\=2 ^(>16 <c''\=1 ) e'' \=2 )>16
<b'\=1 _( f''\=2 ^(>16 <c''\=1 ) e'' \=2 )>8
}
\score {
\stuff
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
(If you need to, use lilybin.com to see this in the development version.)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
