Would be nice if that could be refined a bit as well so that the collision would be avoided even without the measure stretch. Example from a Beethoven score before and after the stretch.
Before (note, it was 2 or 3 measures per system before with just the right hand sixteenths, I just zoomed way in on the measure so you could see the collision better):
After, now at 1 measure per system where the cross staff slurs are, no collision:
As I said though, it would be nice if I didn't necessarily have to stretch out the measure so far just to stop it from colliding with a note in the chord. Granted, this stretch in the Beethoven was a result of the 32nds and 64ths in the measures before and after the cross staff slurs, not me fiddling around with measure stretch, but what if I saw this same cross staff 2 note slur of an inverted seventh chord in a piece without 32nds and 64ths nearby to cause the measures to stretch? In that situation, I'd have to manually stretch out the measure and just that measure until no collision was present.
The score of the Beethoven cello sonata I was looking at didn't have that crazy measure stretch or the slur collision.
Score from Breitkopf edition of the same piece:
Your idea
In some special situations slurs in default position are not beautifull enough.
Problem to be solved
Add rules for specific situations.
