IWBNI it were possible to specify the default setting for the smart-shape contextual menu items Make Horizontal Over System Break and Maintain Angle Over System Break for various types of smart shapes. As it is now, the default setting for these menu items may not be specified.

This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Smart Shape Options dialog box:

------------------------------------------------
Smart Shape Options Dialog Box
 
 

Smart Shape Type	Make Horizontal Over System Break	Maintain Angle Over System Break
Slur		x
Dashed Curve		x
Decrescendo		x
Crescendo		x
Trill	x
Trill Extension	x
8va/8vb	x
15ma/15mb	x
Double-ended Bracket	x
Dashed Double-ended Bracket	x
Bracket	x
Dashed Bracket	x
Line		x
Dashed Line		x
Bend		x

------------------------------------------------

Also, a check box called Maintain Angle over System Break could be added to the Smart Line Style dialog box. This control would be disabled when the Horizontal checkbox on the Smart Line Style dialog box is selected.
