This would be perfect if it weren't for the extra white space caused
by the \roff at the beginning of the figure -- not very noticeable in
a single-bar extract but unsightly in the context of a continuous
score

If you compare the following multi-bar versions, you'll see that a
\qsk *backwards* fixes the problem:

\startextract % your version, with an empty bar inserted before it
\notes\sk\sk\en\bar
\notes\ibbu0L6\roff{\qb0p}%
\hqsk\islurd1K\qb0{^K}\tslur1L\tbbu0\qb0L\nbbu0%
\qb0b\qb0d\tqh0g\en
\endextract

\def\lqsk{\off{-1\elemskip}}%

\startextract % the solution I eventually came up with
\notes\sk\sk\en\bar
\notes\lqsk\ibbu0J6\smallroff{\qb0p}%
\hqsk\islurd1K\qb0{^K}\tslur1L\tbbu0\qb0L\nbbu0%
\qb0b\qb0d\tqh0g\en
\endextract

Jean-Pierre, you can contradict *my* style as much as you like. It's
the thought of contradicting the *composer's* style that worries me.
Now there's an artist who knows exactly what he wants!
