Re: [tablatures] bend.ly - please test and comment

Hi Marc, hi everyone,

Great work. This is really exciting.

Just a couple of comments:

  1. It might be good to move the beginning point of the pointed slur
     right about an eighth of a space and the end of the pointed slur
     left by the same amount. This would make the space between the two
     on notes that are bent to and then released more appreciable.
  2. For the example in bar 10, both of the pointed slurs should arch
     under.

I'll fiddle around with some of the settings when I have the opportunity.

Kudos!

David
