Further investigation shows that the simplest possible PMX file with a
Version 0.92 postscript slur crossing a page boundary leads to bad
postscript:

==================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
2 2 20 0

t
./
Ap
c04 s |
  c04 s /
==================

The file works fine with version 0.91 musixps.tex and psslurs.pro, which
makes me think the error is not in PMX.

While we're on the subject, there are several things about line-break ties
that I'd like to ask be opened up for discussion.  To my taste, the 2nd half
often comes out too insubstantial, either too narrow or too short.  Is there
any chance for a user tweak here on any of these parameters, especially the
horizontal position of the left end of the second part?

Also, the shape of the first half is not as graceful as a normal tie, having
a flatter center and more sharply hooked ends.  I might prefer having the
option to give it exactly the same shape as a normal tie of the same length.
