Slurs and staccato dots

[Antti Kaihola]

It seems that there's still room for improvement in the slur algorithm
when spacing gets tight and short slurs have to travel a large interval
and end near a staccato dot. In the example below, thirds and fourths
look nice, but on bigger jumps the end of the slur goes beyond the
staccato dot and too high.

This is LilyPond 2.3.17 on Linux.


\include "suomi.ly"

\score {
    \relative c' {
        d 4 ( f -.) f2        |
        c 4 ( f -.) f2        | 
        h,4 ( f'-.) a,( f'-.) |
        c 4 ( g'-.) g-. g -.  |
        a,  ( g'-.) g-. g-.   | 
        h,  ( g'-.) f-. d -.  |
        e8  ( f g f) e2       |
        e8  ( f g f) e2       |
    }
}
