Hello, everybody!
In the following LaTeX2e source file's output I don't like the
shape of the slurs of the left hand. I think you will
agree as soon as you have seen them ... :-)
I am quite sure there is some way to improve them
but I don't know what to tell MusiXTeX to do so.
I tried to use \curve and \midslur with negative numbers
but this did yield reasonable results (though fascinating ones).
I would be pleased
"with a little help from my friend"s in the mailing list ...
(Beware of possible line wrappings during the mailing.
I just split some lines (I hope I did not make any mistakes),
so it should be ok, but you never know....)
