Dear Bug Squad,

sorry, I completely forgot this request of mine.

Actually, I can achieve what I want with some overrides (no control 
points needed), see examples below.
What I'm looking for is the possibility of putting start and end slurs 
inside notes in a chord, like we can do when using ties. That was the 
proposal from Janek in the link I've posted in my first email:

"I think the optimal solution here would be to extend slur syntax so
that slurs could be defined inside chords (like ties):
<c' ~ g' ( e''> <c' a') d''>"

I wonder if an issue in the tracker has ever been added.
Can you point me to it, if it exists? I would star it so I can be 
notified in case someone starts working on it.
Or create it if it doesn't, so it's more likely that you won't receive 
this kind of request again in the future.

Here the examples:


\version "2.17.9"

music =  \relative c' {
  % Example 1: only TabStaff is wrong and can be corrected with an override
  %\once \override TabVoice.Slur.direction = #DOWN
  <g\4 b\2>\4\glissando ( gis\4)

  % Example 2: Staff and TabStaff are both wrong, but can be corrected 
with an override
  %\once \override Slur.direction = #UP
  g\4\glissando ( <gis\4 e,>)
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff <<
      \context Voice { \clef "G_8" \music }
    >>
    \new TabStaff  <<
      \context TabVoice { \clef "moderntab" \music }
    >>
  >>
}


Many thanks
