Hi Thomas,

This isn't wrong. I just want something that makes more sense to use as a
slur and make changes to the curve easier than guesstimating each time I
use the code. So I was looking to base some calculations for the points
based on the X-extent of the slur I want to replace etc.

I think what I want is used the example I've attached. I'm just struggling
to understand this code since it's not mine. I sort of know what it's doing
but I can't modify it to suit my needs.

I want to replace the middle flat line portion with a third bezier curve
that it's mostly flattened and is slightly thicker in the middle of the
slur/tie.
