Fixing 'Bad slurs'

[pianoleo]

The Sibelius octave slurs shown in your example are lazy for my liking. They either start way too far from the notehead (as in the opening bars of the Vln 2 and Vla) or end way too far from the notehead (as in the opening bars or the Vln 1).

Defaults are just that. It’s obvious from this thread alone that no software developer is going to please all of its customers with factory defaults (though the factory defaults for slurs have been refined in recent Dorico versions).

In your example I find the first two slurs in the second bar of Vln.1 quite ugly, and the placement of others leaves a lot to be desired.

You’re right. I guess I was fixated on the slurs in the first measure of all 3 staves, which are all very good, and pretty much as I’d like to see them.

The Sibelius slurs don’t do much for me.
