Yes, I understand that. Initially my first thought was 'manually'... So: 1 - is it possible: yes, of course; 2 - "[...] on this approach [...]": yes, but the graph paper should have a different scale (let say a unit stands for 10 staff lines' height). 3 - maybe having more tools (such as a teeeeny circle with relative coordinates to put on slur start and end, in order to have the option to only use vertical/horizontal tangents, just thinking...) Now to automagical it, I'm certainly not ready for ;)
