A <code>dash-element</code> is a list~~ of parameters ~~defining~~ the dash behavior ~~for a segment~~ of the ~~slur~~.		Slurs can be composed of complex dash patterns by setting the <code>dash-definition</code> property, which is a list of slur segments, which in turn are lists of parameters setting up the dash behavior of the given segment.

	~~The slur is~~ defined in terms of the ~~bezier~~ parameter t which ranges from 0 at the left end of the slur to 1 at the right end of the slur. <code>~~dash~~-~~element~~</~~code~~> ~~is a list~~ <~~code~~>~~(start-t~~ stop-t dash-fraction dash-period)</code>. ~~The region of~~ the ~~slur from~~ <~~code~~>start-t</~~code~~> to <~~code~~>stop-t</~~code~~> ~~will have a fraction~~ <~~code~~>dash-fraction</~~code~~> ~~of each~~ <~~code~~>dash-period</~~code~~> ~~black~~. <~~code~~>dash-~~period~~</~~code~~> is ~~defined in terms of staff spaces~~. <~~code~~>dash-~~fraction~~</~~code~~> is ~~set to 1 for a solid slur~~.		Slur segments are defined in terms of the Bézier parameter <var>t</var>, which ranges from 0 at the left end of the slur to 1 at the right end of the slur. A slur segment has the form <code>(<var>start-t</var> <var>stop-t</var> <var>dash-fraction</var> <var>dash-period</var>)</code>. In the segment spanning the range <var>start-t</var> to <var>stop-t</var>, the dash pattern is defined by the values of <var>dash-fraction</var> and <var>dash-period</var>. <var>dash-fraction</var> specifies how much of a dash period is black; if set to 1 you get a solid slur segment. The unit for <var>dash-period</var> is staff spaces.
