got the same problem. But as you said, EMC in machine-tool oriented, so 
this is normal.

I think it would be a great improvement to add a "motion controller 
oriented" mode, with extended motion control habilities, like setting 
different acceleration and deceleration values for each move, or part of 
a move. Would open the door of controlling lots of other thing than 
machine tools, for exemple pick-and-place machines, gluing machines or 
any other thing that use positioning system (stack storage robot, etc... 
) and need creating moves with changing speeds.

I take the exemple of my gluing machine : the gap I have to fill with 
the glue have a change in size in some places, so I have to lower the 
speed to achieve filling correctly, when the size increases. I do this 
with a succession of G1 with different F, but has the change in the size 
of the gap I have to fill is progressive, if I could also set the accel 
value when changing speed, it would greatly improve the final result, as 
the speed could "follow" the gap variation.

Hu, I'm not sure his is clear enough. But I'm afraid this is the 
clearest I can write with my poor english, sorry :/
