Re: Different slur thickness and centring

Thank you, OCTO. I see too much white space on a Henle page. What do you think?
I just consulted Ross and almost all of the slur examples show tangent rather than vertical centering! (pages 139-143).
Gould on the other hand specifically states that slurs should end at the (vertical) center of note heads when possible and most of the examples show this, but not all where it is possible to do this.
I don't feel that either author is specific enough about slur design and all the various cases that can arise. Does anyone know of a book that is?
