Default Slurs and Ties - line styles

Sherry

A minor suggestion. In choral and vocal music with multiple verses, it often occurs that a note is split to accommodate two syllables in one verse, but then tied or slured for a single syllable in another verse. Of course if the verses are not grouped as repeates but written out as separate sets of measures, then the different verses can be shown with different note values. But if you are showing the verses underneath each other then it can be a minor source of confusion.

In some printed scores this is addressed by having the optional slur/tie shown as a dotted line style rather than a solid line style, so it would be good to be able to choose the line style in Notation.

I'm sure this would be way down on the wish list unless other choral people come up with it.

Best wishes
Tim
