Slur positions

[Trent Johnston]

Hi again,

While typesetting a cantata by Bach I've come across what could be called an
extreme slur.

The stem of the flat on the second note is causing to slur to bulge out in
an extreme manner to avoid it.

Shouldn't the slur be offset a little from the first note so as to not cause
such an extreme bulge?

Regards,

Trent

P.S. the position of bar numbers on the right side of a clef is this a new
position or a bug?
