thanks for your comprehensive review :-)
to your dash problem: try to locate in the the psslurs.pro the following line:
{ [internote 8 mul AR internote 5 mul AR] 0 setdash } if
the figures 8 and 5 designate the width of the segment and gap respectively (if I remember it well). You can do some experiments (it's sufficient to do only the dvips pass, no need to run TeX) and let me know if you find out some more suitable values for the next release of musixps.
Hope this helps,
Stanislav.
P.S.: I was never concerned about the compatibility with the bitmapped slurs, I just tried to make the best-looking slurs for my own needs.

Dotted slurs: ============
Neither set of Postscript slurs is satisfactory here. My test score contains a large number of editorial, articulatory slurs between closely spaced semiquavers. Using the bitmapped slur fonts, even these short slurs are drawn with five segments separated by very narrow gaps.
In contrast, however, both the Morimoto and the Kneifl slurs use larger slur segments and wider gaps. As a result, my short slurs came out with only two segments and a fairly wide gap in between. This is less clearly legible on the staff and, when printed out, may be mistaken for a printout quality problem rather than a deliberately dotted slur.
Longer slurs too tend to be less legible against the staff lines both in the Morimoto and the Kneifl variants because of the thinner line and the wide gaps. In the case of the Morimoto slurs, the shallower curvature has an additional detrimental effect on the legibility of some dotted slurs.
