Rule
Gradus GE-376 · cite this code — it is permanent. Rule id slur-overlap-nested-vertical-offset
When two slurs share some notes (nested or genuinely overlapping without full containment), the outer/later slur must curve further from the staff so the two arcs don't touch or cross.
Gould ('Overlapping slurs') and Ross ch.12 both specify nested/nearby slurs are engraved at increasing distances from the noteheads.
This rule needs the notated content and the rendered result together — the score says what should happen, the page says whether it did.
