Phrasing slurs

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

       \time 6/4 c' \(  d ( e-) f ( e-)  d-\)
     
[picture of music]

Typographically, the phrasing slur behaves almost exactly like a normal slur. See also PhrasingSlur . But although they behave similarily to normal slurs, phrasing slurs count as different objects. A \slurUp will have no effect on a phrasing slur; instead, you should use \phrasingSlurUp, \phrasingSlurDown, and \phrasingSlurBoth.

Note that the commands \slurUp, \slurDown, and \slurBoth will only affect normal slurs and not phrasing slurs.
