When I asked the publisher for an example he told me the real slurs are perfectly fine. He sees no distinction between a slur and a tie. For him it is only the context which decides if it is a slur or a tie. This is so wrong, but what can I do... While it is not impossible to regexp my way through the files I would be happy to find a less intrusive solution since I want to use the files for myself in the end privately. With real ties.
