Behavior of slurs at line breaks
Dear Forum,
I’m using MuseScore 2.0.3 on Windows 7.
When a slur is broken by a line break both ends of each part of the slur have the same vertical height, which only depends on the pitch of the first respectively last note.
Therefore I often have to adjust the slurs. And when the layout changes I have to readjust or reset them.
So I would like to ask the developers if it would be possible once to use both vertical positions of each part of the broken slur to draw the slur.
I think that would make MuseScore much more comfortable.

I suspect this will be greatly improved in 3.0 when it gets released, but 2.1 will be released much sooner. MS is rigid about anchoring slurs to a specified point on the note and drawing a slur from its algorithm no matter what is in between. Have you tried to slur a B4, B5, B4? I've always considered these situations ones that I just have to work with.
As far as the layout changing a you needing to readjust them goes, I would not worry about such aesthetics until the score is complete and the layout is stable. That goes for slurs, multi-measure (de)crescendos and all the other various hairpins that cross multiple measures. Then you can fix them in the main score and parts as needed.

Thank you. You are right as this is the fastest way to get a convenient layout. I'm hopefully looking to the upcoming versions of MuseScore.
