Slur/tie/l.v. with arrow, plus stop sign

P.S. I do indeed always conduct research before asking here. Nevertheless, I will stumble upon a lot of questions. Is it in the forums interest to create a separate thread around my journey of transcribing such a piece, and about my learning Dorico, with all its pitfalls and joys?

Here’s a basic example with two lines, a tapered curve, and an empty line with an ugly end cap.

Thanks. However, ideally, I would like to—as in the original—attach the arrowhead to a slur or tie shape. Also possible?

I now had some progress, creating this:

• My issue here is that they should never cross the barline.

Next issue: Cannot attach to chord in a good way. Original:

My result:

Check that you are attaching the start of the line to the note and not the barline.
