Maybe just dump the waste of time that was

Documentation/notation/changing-defaults.itely:3953: values are then
found by trial and error.
.. and trial and error again if you change anything, or if the
line-breaking changes, or if you need to switch between A4 and US letter

A curve shaped like a cube ?
You mean S-shaped, or sigmoidal, or 'curve with inflection' or 'curve
that changes the direction of its bend'?

A tiny bit ugly.

    c8( e b-> f d' a e-> g)
  }

Accents make the point that the newly-shaped Slur is integrated into the
usual collision-avoidance (distinct from other hand-tweaks like rotation
and extra-offset).

You can probably skip the "remembering that.."
Discussions of Bezier curves always mention this, but it seems implicit
in having the curves parametrized by "control points".
