Re: \mark and slur

[Rutger Hofman]

But isn't the start time of this <> the start time of the c4 in the 
second line, so that <>( c4) is equivalent to c4(); which causes the 
warnings 'cannot end slur' for ')' and 'unterminated slur' for '('?
My guess is that this insertion of <> makes things more complicated for 
us, unenlightened users, if anything.

My preference would be to clearly explain that '(' is an attribute of 
the note that directly precedes it.
