Werner,

The problem with ligatures is that they have 3 meanings - ties, bowing/breathing marks and phrasing marks. And sometimes a note will have all three. But this is getting a bit off-topic.
Best regards,

Well, just look at a Mahler score. He was one of the great
conductors, and the strings are full of bowing marks. How many of
them are followed by conductors these days I don't know.
Well, just look at a Richard Strauss score :-) His scores are full of
legatos in the strings which are definitely *not* meant to be executed
as bowing instructions.
Note also that until the beginning of the 20th century the players in
a string group of an orchestra did not try at all to have the same
bowing. In scores of that time, notated bowing marks are intended as
a special sound effect (for example, a sequence of down-bow-only
notes).
