I was maligning myself here, release 1.2.2 is backwardly compatible, it
loads files with the old slurs and saves the new. Anyone who created
scores (involving slurs) before that release should use that release to
load and save the file so that the slurs are in the new format for later
releases to load. There is a script in the bin directory to do this
recursively on all your files.
