PRINT MUSIC: "Slurs and Ties"

I have always had trouble using "Slurs" and "Ties".  They have these four "anchor points" you have the option to pull on in order to shape and properly place them.

But this morning I noticed that if you take the furthest "anchor point" and simply drag it directly a crossed to the last note you want it to end on . . . when you release the mouse . . . the slur "jumps up" into the exact place you need!  Placed Perfect and Angled Accurately!
