Yes, I understand that.
Initially my first thought was 'manually'...
So:
1 - is it possible: yes, of course;
2 - "[...] on this approach [...]": yes, but the graph paper should have a
different scale (let say a unit stands for 10 staff lines' height).
3 - maybe having more tools (such as a teeeeny circle with relative
coordinates to put on slur start and end, in order to have the option to
only use vertical/horizontal tangents, just thinking...)
Now to automagical it, I'm certainly not ready for ;)
