Thanks for working on this! 

My pleasure!  I have something which is almost ready to be reviewed, but I need to get several patches pushed and into current master first.

 

Will this also influence the positioning
of the end (or start) of a slur?  Since I guess that the answer is no,

Unfortunately, that's a different problem.  Of course, since the patch puts the staccato dots at stem end, you'll notice a (slight) improvement.  (See attached.)

I wonder how this could be improved, namely to set maximum and minimum
horizontal coordinates for slurs that must not be exceeded.

Not sure--I'd need to investigate.  Something ought to be done about the vertical position, too, of course.  That might be harder.  (I'm just guessing.)

Sounds sensible.

I'm liking this approach--will be part of upcoming patch for review.

Best,
