Added as portato-direction.

Portato doesn't exist in the music I use to play, so I don't know myself which 
direction that is correct. Do you have concrete examples of well-engraved 
scores that do it the other way around? Or can anyone else confirm how it 
should look?

(Most sources I can find prefer tenuto lines, or slurred notes with staccato 
dots)

Added as c-slur-portato.

Thanks!
