Re: slurs across voices

[Jim Cline]

Hi William and Knute,
Thanks for your suggestions.  It's nice to have two options.  I like 
Knute's since I'm not very knowledgable about the engraver functions,
which are a black box to me, while the method Knute proposes is
easily understandable and only requires tweaking the measure in question.
best regards, Jim
