Hi David, Thanks for your reply (and your admonition to read more carefully next time(s)).
My problem with your advice "You have to use \slurUp at the moment a slur is _started_, not when it already had ended." was : How does a beginner know what is the right moment? Apparently for this event it is at the very beginning of a new bar, before any note, stem, beam or slur has been called. And it will be inherited in the following bars. Good to know. I hadn't realized that. Of course I fully agree with your concluding remark. Unfortunately there are sometimes way too many sentences to be read for a real understanding ...
