Don, It may just be that after several updates and upgrades, at least once a year, there was about a three-year hiatus between 2.6.3 and the next version which I believe was called 3.0. So we got to know 2.6.3 really well. I'm pretty sure I did all my work for graduate school on it. And it *was* stable. Much more stable than 3.0.
I don't recall when note-attached slurs came in. It may not have been until Fin97. Otherwise it was probably in an iteration of v3. BTW: If you want to use my plugins with Fin11, you need to continue to use v3. Later versions do not run in any version before Fin12.
