IWBNI there were an option to specify that when the menu item Edit>Update Layout is selected, slurs should be automatically reshaped to conform to settings on the Slur Contour dialog box.

Note: When the layout is updated the width of measures can change and slurs can become segmented over system breaks. This can affect the length of slurs, and the shape of a slur is a function of its length.

This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Update Layout Options dialog box:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Layout Options Dialog Box

Reshape Slurs:
( ) All Slurs
( ) Only If Not Reshaped Manually
( ) No Slurs
-------------------------------------------------------------------

A given slur is said to be "reshaped manually" if any of the following operations has been performed on the control points that are within the bounding rectangle of the slur:

• The height of the slur has been modified by dragging the outer, middle control point.

 
• The inset of the slur has been modified by pressing Ctrl while dragging the left or right control point.

 
• The slur has been made asymmetrical by pressing Ctrl while dragging the outer, middle control point.
