Hoofdstuk 4: Tweaking output 124
This is an improvement, but why not lower the right end of the slur a little? If you try it
you’ll find it can’t be done in this way. That’s because there are no candidate slurs lower than
the one already selected, and in this case the positions property has no effect. However, ties,
slurs and phrasing slurs can be positioned and shaped very precisely when necessary. To learn
how to do this, see Sectie “Modifying ties and slurs” in Notatie-handleiding.
Here’s a further example. We see that the beams collide with the ties:

staff-spaces below the center line to, say, 1:

}
