I am afraid i do not understand yet the slur mechanism (but never dared to confess) i.e. Ap+t : is the adjustment autmatically (for dotted notes) or is it to allow t+0+1 ?

I believe the bow of the tie is 2 internotes and this can not be less ? But yes, i forgot to use the f option (f stands for flatter, h for higher and H for more higher an HH ...?) I feel i have no right to nitpick (searched this word in a dictonary). I waited long for slanted hairpins, and now we have them together with slurs that have a large, nice vertical range.
