> if font-based slurs must be used,

The fact that this clause appears in a post on TeX-music puts the
finger on a sore point. Ideally, he user of MusiXTeX should not
need to know that there is a difference between font-based and
PS slurs any more than the user of pdfLaTeX should need
to know how \line in the picture environment is implemented.

Worse, this can of worms extends to PMX, which is supposed
to operate at a higher level than MusiXTeX.

There should be an interface that uses PS slurs when they are
available and does the best it can with font-based slurs when they
are not.

I am merely sounding my barbaric yawp over the rooftops on this
matter; I do not have enough expertise to help.
