Description

Describe the bug
Slurs cannot be extended between systems by use of the shortcut Shift + .
Note: This only applies to slurs attached to the last note in a system.

To Reproduce
See demo video (first 55sec):

Expected behavior
The shortcut Shift + should always extend a slur to the next available note – even across systems – and even if the selected note is the final one in a system.
