I think music notation is such that people are always going to need the ability to change the shape of slurs. Before discovering \shape I used to manually tweak control points to get what I wanted, which is a long and torturous process. If someone were to take \shape away in a future version of LilyPond (this implication is in your post, even if unintended) I would almost certainly not upgrade, even if significant improvements were made to LilyPond's slurs. I don't mean this as a slight on LilyPond's slurs, which are beautiful for the most part, just that people are always going to need to be able to change them. Kevin
