 Pros of 1.3.2 Curves

 - beginners are more likely to look for ties in here


 Pros of 1.2.1 Writing rhythms
 - ties really do effect the duration of a note, rather than providing
 expressive notation
 - beginners should have already read the tutorial, and will therefore
 know the difference between ties and slurs.  If they haven't read the
 tutorial, we officially Do Not Care (tm) about them, so that negates the
 advantages of Expressive marks.

Ties, for my vote.

(Except laissez vibrer ties ... which should go under expressive marks ;-)

I think I'd go for curves, for the reasons given above, but I'm not
sure. Ties certainly are NOT expressive marks...  So if the approach
is that a user is supposed to sit down with the ToC and logically
maneuvre through the headings, it should probably be under rhythms.
I'd probably just search for Ties in the pdf file, so in that sense,
it doesn't matter that much, as long as there is a link from one place
to the other.

This Fremen religious adaptation, then, is the source of what we now
recognize as The Pillars of the Universe, whose Qizara Tafwid are among us
all with signs and proofs and prophecy. They bring us the Arrakeen mystical
fusion whose profound beauty is typified by the stirring music built on the
old forms, but stamped with the new awakening. Who has not heard and been
deeply moved by The Old Man's Hymn?

  I drove my feet through a desert 
  Whose mirage fluttered like a host. 
  Voracious for glory, greedy for danger, 
  I roamed the horizons of al-Kulab, 
  Watching time level mountains 
  In its search and its hunger for me. 
  And I saw the sparrows swiftly approach, 
  Bolder than the onrushing wolf. 
  They spread in the tree of my youth.
  I heard the flock in my branches 
  And was caught on their beaks and claws!
