No problem Max! Also if you wanted a sort of more direct control over the tapering you could make the base line the same length as the curve (use the .getLength() method on the target curve). With a base line the same length as the curve it would not matter whether 'Stretch' was on or not, and then it's also easier to do something like make a taper only along the last 1 unit of the curve. With a generic one unit long base line it will have more of a mapping like percentages along the curve.
