You should use the command "Shape -> cpts" which is in the SVG __drawing__. Look at this video: https://github.com/paopre/Spontini/blob/master/documentation/images/intro.gif After compiling the file, Just click on the slur in the svg drawing, then right click with the mouse: a drop-down menu will appear and you can choose the "Shape -> cpts" command. This is the quickest and easiest way to use the editor. Let me know if you managed to get it working... Hope this helps! Paolo
