Description
Your idea
I propose to implement these types of slurs styles like every other software notation program out there. For instance, down below there's a pretty good example on the official Dorico page.
Problem to be solved
I think it will be an important improvement especially for contemporary music engraving capabilities, other than to be useful for editorial markings. It would be a better feature than only having dotted slurs as option
