![]() The ways to do this would be, move the left end the slur further down the stem, and/or the right end further from the notehead. So MuseScore needs to take special steps to achieve the goal. In this case, the line is going up, but it's complicate because the first step is up but the last is down, and the default arrangement would then have the slur angling down. That's not always a good goal, but it is at least sometimes. I don't have much insight into the MU4 changes, but in current versions of MuseScore, the idea is to try to make the angle for the slur follow the angle the notes themselves. But this particular case works out similarly, so I guess that part of the algorithm wasn't changed, or at least, not in a way that would makes a difference. There have been quite a few changes to the defaults in MuseScore 4, so it's worth checking examples in the alpha build. So I won't criticize MS here (there was some discussion at ) - but rather just ask: What is the reason for MS's "deep(er)" slurs in the "Lamb's March" and p.109 examples? And is there some global configuration that would nudge MS towards making them "flatter, in general"? ![]() ![]() Now, I know that slur placement and form (anchors, and "flatness") is (a) hard, (b) subjective. I added a manually adjusted version that is nearer to BB, and what I'd like. The p.111 examples come out exactly as in BB the p.109 example, however, is quite different and, IMHO, "not so nice": The end of the slur is too far away from the last note and the slur is too near to the second note (c). To learn a little more (I'm an absolute MuseScore newbie: started just yesterday), I tried out a few examples from "Behind Bars", on pages 111 and 109 - see the attached score (which I "stretched" to have about Gould's note distances). In BRM Music's very nice score of Sousa's "Lamb's March" at, I saw two slurs which didn't look as I would have liked them to look - see the attachments "StemsideSlur1.jpg" (from the score) and "StemsideSlur2.jpg" (my opinion).
