Re: Vertical slurs

[Claire Meyer]

Hi David,

Sorry for replying so late, things happened this week and I got caught up. Thanks for your answer, it does help some. I'm still stuck, though :

Either it's a "normal looking" arpeggio across the voices, or it's a "parenthesis-looking" one, but I don't know how to have the separate voices. My code looks like :

\version "2.20.0"

upperHighB = \relative c''' {
aes4 \arpeggioParenthesis bes8. \arpeggio c16 |
aes4 \arpeggioParenthesis <bes aes,>8. \arpeggio c16 |
}

upperLowB = \relative c'' {
c8. bes16 \arpeggioParenthesis aes4 \arpeggio |
}

upper =  {
\time 2/4
\key aes \major
\clef "treble"
\set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t

<<
\new Voice { \voiceOne \upperHighB }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \upperLowB }
>>
}

\score {
\new Staff = "piano upper" \with {
\consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
} \upper
}

Would someone happen to know how to solve my case ?

Thanks,

Claire

You'd want to use \arpeggioParenthesis for this. See

Hope this helps.
