Actually, I found out that the "editorial" dashed slur is used in a very
"simple" manner in critical editions score: "dashed" part may begin and end
in every point of the slur.  It is possible to find a in-middle dashed slur
when transcribing a manuscript fragment in which the composer wrote just the
beginning and the end of the slur.
I know it could be a programming hell, but the best thing (for THIS very
need) would be to "change-in-the-fly" the type of slur by using the
\slurDashed and \slurSolid in the exact point it should change its
appearance, for example:

... c ( d e \slurDashed f g \slurSolid a b c ) ...

would result that between "e" and "g" the slur is dashed.
This would be conceptually perfect for the needs of critical editions, but
as I said, it may be an hell to program, I don't know.

1 more thing: I hacked Marks code to represent half-dashed \phrasingSlur
(which is actually the ones I use), but I had to clone all the code. Could
you write it in a briefer and wisier way  (yours) ?
Thanks
