>>1521625I don't use Inkscape, I actually had to find the right tools, so I made a quick sloppy example,
forgive me that part.
Take a look at the lack of handles in my image. This can be useful at times because you can make
some small adjustments easier when you have less handles to deal with. In my example there are
no handles on the nodes in the solid line like there are in yours. I won't say either way is right, you
may just find the way I am doing it easier so give it a shot and see what you think.
