Ouch!  Prior to the most recent slur package release, I had discussed this
matter with Stanislav.  I had noticed that at very high magnifications, a
slur was made of 4 separate curves with the same endpoints, slightly
different curvatures, and some whitespace in between.  This suggested that
if printed at very high resolutions the whitespace might show up.  So I
suggested thickening the lines enough to fill in the spaces at 2400 dpi.
Stanislav was concerned about the very issue Alexander raised; specifically,
he wanted to be sure that there was still enough contrast in the thickness
between the ends and the middle.  When I looked at the result, I actually
preferred the slighly rounded appearance of the ends over the sharpness they
had before, while the gradation in thickness was still pretty obvious.  I
suppose Stanislav agreed, because in 0.92 he made that change I had
suggested.  Personally, I hope he leaves it as is.  But Alexander has
already cast one dissenting vote. Could other users weigh in on this?

Meanwhile, if you want to change it back in your local setup, you can fiddle
with the line-width setting in psslurs.pro.  Find the line

linew 4 mul setlinewidth

and change "4" to a smaller number.
