That would not make much sense, really.  Phrasing slurs in violin music
are only necessary when you can't avoid changing bow direction, so if
they are present, they are much longer.

The tied notation makes more sense, indicating that you change from a
one-string note to a double-stop and then revert back to the one-string
note.  This kind of "hold a note on one string and touch notes on next
string" phrasing is used in a few movements in the Bach solo partitas as
well.  The notation of Steve was a reasonable rendition for that:
writing this as strictly two voices makes it harder to indicate the
slurring.

Werner, any suggestions for _not_ using a tie in that manner?
