Description

Description

Sometimes when placing accents above groups of notes that are slurred, the accents / marcato are rendered in a way that is not visually appealing. A person would not engrave like this by hand, they would place all articulations above or below the slur (I'm not personally sure what is more standard). The tenutos and staccatos look fine.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a group of 3 notes as in screenshot
  2. Place a slur across the group.
  3. Add accents or marcatos to all notes
