Slurs over system and frame breaks
Slurs automatically cross system breaks and frame breaks.
A system or frame break divides slurs into two parts. The end of the first part of the slur, and the start of the second part of the slur, are both positioned 1 space vertically outside the staff by default.
In Engrave mode, you can move and edit each slur part separately. This allows you to adjust the start/end height of each slur part independently on each system.
If multiple slurs cross the same system break or frame break, such as if a phrase split by a break contains nested slurs, the ends of the slurs are stacked automatically and spaced a minimum of 1/2 space apart vertically.
