Description
Your idea
Not sure if anchor points is the correct term for it, but the ability to warp and change the shape of slurs more than just the current 2 points we have.
Possibly being able to add enough to make slurs this detailed.
And a screenshot of what it might look like, the extra square we can manipulate to twist the shape of the slur
Musescore at the moment feels really limited on how we can manipulate slurs.
Perhaps adding a + button to create an extra point on the slur, or a click and drag along the edge of the slur selection box to specify where the anchor point should go.
Problem to be solved
Extra functionality and detail to creating slurs
