I'm not sure what Paul was thinking of, but one thing about Legeres is that they are thinner than most cane reeds - even the ones made with traditional thickness blanks. So, on some mouthpieces it may be hard to get a ligature tight enough to hold firmly.
I've found also that some of my Rovners slip even with thick blank reeds, as does the Optima I'm currently using. I've found a way to grip the whole thing so that I'm holding more mouthpiece (above and below the ligature) than just the ligature, which seems to solve the problem. Just make sure the tenon is greased to minimize the resistance.
