FWIW: Anthony Philip Heinrich (1781-1861), born in Bohemia, came to the US in
1811 and only then became a professional musician. Largely cut off from
European developments from then on, he does indeed retain many old-fashioned
musical terms and usages within the context of a highly imaginative and
radically romantic idiom. Geschliffen it is.
For his time it wouldn't even have been old-fashioned, I am pretty sure
this use of the word was quite common at least in the first half of the
19th century, possibly even longer than that.
However, in a modern edition it might be an idea to put a footnote like
this:
* = gebunden
It may not be immediately clear to a modern musician what "geschliffen"
means, and there could even be a misunderstanding, ie someone might
think it should be a portamento effect or something like that.
