Why is that unfortunate?  The demo is really all there is, currently.
What would you do with the code?

It's really meant as a demo currently, not as a reliable tool.  The only
thing saved a couple of minutes before this message, was

    \relative { c' c'' e,,( f f) f g a' b,, f' d' \bar "|." }

That's right, that's not yet possible.  My first priority is to find
a useful application for what is now this demo, code what's missing
and provide it.  This `feature request' is anticipated and it would
be nice to see how many people actually want this feature.  If you
really need it, the answer is: switch to Frescobaldi ;-)

Agreed.

Both buttons should be disabled when no slur or tie is possible.
The slur button is enabled when you make a horizontal selection.

I will.  Thanks for looking at it.
