Re: reference for well-shaped slurs

[Mason Hock]

Thanks for your response, Andrew. 

Since you say that you use \shapeII frequently, I wonder if you ever find that 
\shapeII creates an upside-down slur
 like in the first example of mt previous message, or that it sometimes causes 
systems to appear on top of each oth
er, as below? Are these bugs, or am I doing something wrong? Do you have a fix 
or workaround?

Thanks,

Mason
