Would it be possible (make sense) to draw a multi-segment curve directly
as a path? I mean, we already have all the necessary control points
available.
What is necessary is to draw a curved shape that has the same
characteristics as a LilyPond slur (in particular the configurable
thickness and the tips) but only on one side of the line.
