5.7.2 Phrasing slurs

A phrasing slur (or phrasing mark) connects chords and is used to indicate a musical sentence. It is written using \( and \) respectively

     \time 6/4 c'\( d( e) f( e) d\)

Typographically, the phrasing slur behaves almost exactly like a normal slur. However, they are treated as different objects. A \slurUp will have no effect on a phrasing slur; instead, use \phrasingSlurUp, \phrasingSlurDown, and \phrasingSlurNeutral.

The commands \slurUp, \slurDown, and \slurNeutral will only affect normal slurs and not phrasing slurs.

Predefined commands

\phrasingSlurUp, \phrasingSlurDown, \phrasingSlurNeutral.

Bugs

Putting phrasing slurs over rests leads to spurious warnings.
