There's another improvement I'm right now experimenting with: Not having
to type the second control point of the second spline but calculating
that mirroring it from the third one of the first spline. I noticed that
the compound slur had a noticeable angle there, so this improvement will
not only require one point less to type (and determine) but also ensure
a smooth turning point.

After that I would like to suggest looking for a solution that will
enable passing the control points as offsets against the default
(non-compound) slur, like \shape does.
