That's great Mark!
I got crazy when I drawed the slurs in tablature with control points..
I was really looking forward to a built-in solution..

With regard to the design of the slurs, I think they are pretty good 
(maybe David will give you some better advice..).

I suggest you to add in the example two hammeron/pulloff happening at 
the same time in two different voices.
In this case, I think slurs in the upper voice should point up (i.e. 
over the numbers) and slurs in lower voice point down (under the numbers).
I don't know if LilyPond is able to adjust this automatically or if 
you have to add some code to fix this behaviour..


Finally, I'd be glad to test this new feature. Do you think you'll 
manage to implement it in the 2.13.4 release?
Otherwise, could you suggest how to test it in "the easiest way"?
I mean, what about adding that code to tablature.ly? How can we do it?

I'm quite "anxious" because I'm going to deliver a draft of a book in 
two weeks and it would be great to have also hammer-on and pull-off.

Thank you so much for your work.

Best regards,
Federico
