Imho this has nothing to do with the line break. It's just normal
operation of MusiXTeX. There is only a limited number of slurs
available. So MusiXTeX looks for the best fit and the best position
depending on \islur and \tslur (or the end of the line).
Insert X.5, X1, X1.5, ... before the 3rd note and see what happens.
I detected this as real problem with my edition of Bach's Kunst der
Fuge where often two short notes are tied together. If there is not
much space between the notes then the shortest slur is too long. Then
I have to correct the end position of the slur so that it look nicer
e.g. "(t c3 c )t+0+.5" in PMX or as MusiXTeX something like:
\notes...\isluru0c....\roffset{.5}{\tslur0c}...\en
It's so nice that one can move anything anywhere with MusiXTeX and
often with PMX, too :-)
