	Wikipedia: Slur
		A slur is a symbol in western musical notation indicating that the notes it embraces are to be played legato (smoothly).
		In music for boweded string instruments, it indicates the notes should be played in one bow; in music for wind instruments, that the notes should be played in one breath.
		In vocal music, slurs are usually used to mark notes which are sung to a single syllable.

	Slurring Practices
		In her contribution to the "Lute" entry in the New Grove, Diana Poulton suggests that the slur was first used in Italy in the early 17th century as a logical extension of the execution of ornaments.
		Slurring plays an important role in the music as a phrasing device, as well as a means of accenting the syncopations.
		Weiss's approach to articulation and slurring is of particular significance, as he was a contemporary of J.S. Bach and was well acquainted with the Cantor from Leipzig.

	VI. Slurs and Ties
		When a slur passes from one in-accord part to another on the same staff, the slur sign preceded by dots 4-5-6 is used.
		As with a slur, dots 4-5-6 before a single-note or chord tie sign indicates that the tie is held into a different in-accord part.
		As with slurs, dot 5 indicates a change of staff and again, dots 4-6 indicate that a sign is coming from an in-accord or a staff.

		According to music educators, when legato singing is practised, emphasis on pulse and metre should be minimised, instead stress should be made on the natural inflection of the words and smoothness of melodic line.
		In modern piano music the slur-line is used to indicate melodic phrasing and in violin scores, to show the amount of melody to be executed on one bow.
		Singers are all too common who scoop or slur atrociously in a loud, anguished manner from tone to tone, in the mistaken idea that they are using the portamento.

	Slur (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This implies legato articulation, and in music for bowed string instruments, it also indicates the notes should be played in one bow; and in music for wind instruments, that the notes should be played without using the tongue to rearticulate each note (see tonguing).
		When two instruments written on the same staff both have slurred phrases with the same note values (e.g., clarinets playing in thirds) it is customary to have two sets of slurs, though in some scores just one set is used and it is understood to apply to both of the instruments.
		The ligature or phrase mark is a curved line that extends over a passage which is visually indistinguishable from the slur, and indicates that the passage is to be interpreted as a single phrase, this implies legato only and not slurring.

	MML: Notation Module
		In CWN the glyph representing the musical "note" refers to a relative frequency (in terms of its position on the graphic lines of the staff) and relative duration (in terms of its length value).
		In the original draft of MML slur was used to hanlde both the start and end of the slur symbol, but the same problems as with bind were experienced in practice with the multitude of IDs.
		Slur is thus now also marked with explicit element names for beginning (slurbegin) and ending (slurend).

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Phrasing & Articulation
		Slurs, which tend to embrace a smaller number of notes, help to shape the musical line even within broader phrasing marks and performers must be able to distinguish between them.
		Slurring, in such surroundings, would obsure the line, and so the performer has to be able to adjust the performance to the demands made by the surroundings by ignoring slur and phrase marks that may have become redundant.
		The piano music of Debussy and Ravel would be unimaginable without the use of the pedal, as it allowed them to translate into musical terms the aesthetics of their painter-counterparts: the Impressionists.

		If a vowel sound is to be carried from the last note of one music line to the first note of the next corresponding line, a slur is written after the last note and before the first of their respective lines.
		The layout of ensemble vocal music is a logical extension of the format for solo music, the chief difference being the variable multiplication of lines.
		In choral and other ensemble vocal music, where a parallel may have from five to ten or more lines, it is often impossible to keep this rule, and in such cases the vertical alignment on the first page should be disregarded and, where necessary, replaced by a fresh vertical alignment on the second page.

		The instrument should be able to slur or "play between keys" as most stringed instruments can and the tones should have spacial qualities that are not achieved by when the tones come from one source such as one loudspeaker.
		The tone timbre, attack, release, tremolo speed, tremolo anplitude, slur, and dynamics are controlled by knobs on each voice channel, These controls are not particularly convenient to operate in the form and location shown but were so made for ease of construction.
		The electronic music box is not expected to replace any existing musical instruments but it may prove to be useful in research and education in music and it may be used to supplement conventicnal instruments in radio, recording, motion pictures, and concert work.

	Common Music Notation
		All the musical data is organized into a list of systems, each system containing a list of staves, each staff containing a list of objects like notes, rests, and so on, and each object containing a variety of lists describing its attributes.
		Of course, the actual code is a bit more complicated because sometimes the dot goes under the note, we have to try to avoid colliding with staff lines, and we have to do something reasonable with the objects that might be passed as arguments to staccato.
		The easiest way to mix text and music is to position the music using the margin slots, then attach the text as a series of marks on a staff.

	Importance of Tongue/Slur Patterns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I practice tongue slur combinations every day because of the effects it has on my articulation in the context of air.
		Not only does this slurring type of air support help with the consistency of the articulation but it also guarantees that the physical aspects of the articulation will fall into place naturally.
		When the air is supported behind the articulation in the same way as it is for a slur, then it's almost impossible to tongue incorrectly.

		Among the composers I know at Juilliard who use computers to typeset their music, the most popular program by far is Finale, from Coda Music Technology, Inc. Finale is a powerful program that is capable of doing just about anything a composer could want, but it is infamous for its difficulty and its less-than-beautiful output.
		My only problem with the slur tool is that you can't use the automatic method over a system break, you have to sketch a slur to the end of the page, and then another one from the beginning of the system to the end of the phrase.

	Coon Songs and racial stereotypes in American popular song.
		American popular music, as a reflection of society, was no exception and as a result, in our travels through the past, we encounter many, many songs that in today's society are offensive, mean spirited and uncomfortable to look at.
		In both cases, the music was deliberately simple and included exaggerated dialect lyrics, neither of which had any relationship to true African American style or speech.
		According to the New Grove Dictionary of American Music, though the ragtime elements of syncopation and harmony were borrowed for the coon song style, it is incorrect to consider them synonymous.
