Editorial
Slurs appear as solid black lines, but with a smaller vertical line intersecting them
exactly halfway along their length. Used to show that slurs were added by the editor
and was not present in the original source.
NOTE
You can set the precise parameters of each of these options project-wide on the Slurs page in
Engrave > Engraving Options. For example, you can change the length and width of the stroke
in Editorial slurs, the diameter of dots and length of dashes, and the sizes of the gaps between
dots and dashes.
