35 For small w, the height should be proportional to w, for w ->
36 infinity, the height should rise to a limit asymptotically.
38 Hence we take F (x) such that
39 F (0) = 0 , F' (0) = 1, and F (infty) = 1
43 h = h_infinity * F (x * r_0 / h_infinity)
48 * F (x) = 2/pi * atan (pi x/2)
50 * F (x) = 1/alpha * x^alpha / (1 + x^alpha)
54 [with the 2nd recipe you can determine how quickly the conversion from
55 `small' slurs to `big' slurs occurs.]
57 Although this might seem cand_idates to SCM-ify, it is not all clear
58 which parameters (ie. h_inf, r_0, F (.)) should be candidates for
59 this. At present h_inf and r_0 come from layout settings, but we did
60 no experiments for determining the best combinations of F, h_inf and
64 The indent is proportional to the height of the slur for small
65 slurs. For large slurs, this gives a certain hookiness at the end,
66 so we increase the indent.
73 (due to derivative constraints, we cannot have indent > len/3)
