I have two tied notes followed by a third note: should the slur ending on the third note start on the first or the second of the tied notes.
And a related question: if one uses so-called "European" ties that look like slurs and a note has both a tie and a slur starting (or ending) on it, does one simply move the slur vertically to avoid the collision, or does one also move the tie a bit horizontally, and perhaps the slur also, so that less vertical movement is required?
Thanks,

Personal opinion and nothing more: while I have seen both publications and finale output by amateurs that would slur from the 2nd note I find it confusing and never use it myself. The slur covers all 3 notes, and I run it from the 1st note to the 3rd. The ties are within that slur. Others may differ.

Agreed. If you consider the noteheads just as components of the notes, you would tie from the beginning of the duration of the sound to the end - from the outer boundaries of the ties. This gives a concept that I work from, and the pieces I find easiest to read also work this way
But that's just what works for me.
