Yes, but the pdf uses type 3 fonts.  You'll need to embed xslz20.pfb
in the pdf to get the problem (and to get a clear display with Acrobat).

But you can't blame dvipdfm for this; ghostscript-produced pdfs also
have this problem when the type 1 fonts are embedded.

I'm now using the revised xslz20.pfb of David Fritzsche and the slurs
*do* appear in Acrobat. And with other examples I've tried.  For the record,
another workaround is to use Postscript slurs such as the musixpss package
of Hiroaki Morimoto:
