SLUR ATTACHMENT-OFFSET PROPERTY MUST BE RE-IMPLEMENTED

[MX]

Thank you for all the answers but I couldn't find a solution to my slur 
tuning problem. The control-points property is indeed very difficult to 
use and too rigid.

1. I think it is necessary to re implement the attachment-offset 
property (or similar) if we want Lilypond could manage with complex 
scores.  For example, there is no solution for my simple (and I think 
common) problem without that.

2. It is rather difficult to cope with  such modifications of the 
Lilypond language. It's impossible for example to compile with 2.6 
version scripts written with 2.4 release and attachment-offset with a 
good result.

Thank you in advance.

M.X.
