Ok, this is a different topic altogether.  Slurs currently are not
articulations but rather events.  That means that they have no
particular relation to any note in a given voice, but rather have a
starting time and an ending time.  Attaching them to some particular
notehead may need extensions in collision avoidance, and it needs more
of a framework than is already present.

In short, it would be out of the scope of a simple fix mainly tying
existing functionality together.  It might not require an insurmountable
amount of work, but it would definitely be an extension to be written in
C++.
