Standard B'way practice, at least for long(-ish) slurs. Slurs of 2-4

It would be nice if Finale supported this automatically. It wouldn't
be too hard -- Finale could include separate placement options (over,
under, note-side, stem-side) for short, medium, and long slurs.
As long as we could specify where the dividing lines are -- is a short
slur 2 or 3 or 4 notes? A medium slur? Long slurs would of course be
everything else, but I think we'd really only need 2 divisions --
short slurs and long slurs, since there are only 2 placement options
(notehead side or always above) under discussion.
Actually, just implementing a tap of the F key (for "flip") to change
the placement of a slur would be perfectly acceptable to me. Once I
discovered this on the tuplets, I saved huge amounts of time. It would
be great to have a keystroke like this for ties in Speedy Entry, as
firing up the Special Tools and dragging ties around at enormous
magnification gets pretty old, too. Maybe there already is one, and I
just don't know about it? Please?
ctrl-f does this for smart-shape slurs as well as for ties in speedy-entry.
