So it would be most consistent to have it work with all three. But then 
it should ideally intelligently handle dynamic text spanners (and text 
spanners. and trill spanners?) so the slur may intersect the spanner in 
the gaps (but not intersect trill spanners…) – sounds very complicated. 
Or the slur might just ignore the ‘span’ part and avoid only the 
bound-items of the spanner, perhaps giving a warning with TrillSpanner?
I sometimes feel a little silly about formulating such requirements 
without being able to contribute in meeting them. I hope it’s useful 
nevertheless?
