I was copying a popular piano piece into Finale when I came across
this oddity:
I came up with this slur:
But I wonder whether I could have done better,
addressing the extra turn at the left end of the
original.
Thanks!

You've done pretty darn well. Many people have asked for more control points to the curve, or even a way to add points, like in a drafting program. It would be a nice feature, since those multicurves appear a fair bit in the literature. But I wouldn't hold my breath...

This is a capability that Dorico had from version one and probably the biggest reason I would ever switch. I handle it in Finale by piecing individual slurs together as necessary. One can get a pretty good result. Some would take the file into a drawing program.
