A slur indicates that notes are to be played bound or legato.
They are entered using parentheses
f( g)( a) a8 b( a4 g2 f4) <c e>2( <b d>2)
Slurs avoid crossing stems, and are generally attached to note heads.
However, in some situations with beams, slurs may be attached to stem
ends. If you want to override this layout you can do this through the
object property attachment
of Slur. Its value
is a pair of symbols, specifying the attachment type of the left and
right end points
\slurUp \override Stem #'length = #5.5 g'8(g g4) \override Slur #'attachment = #'(stem . stem) g8( g g4)
If a slur would strike through a stem or beam, the slur will be moved away upward or downward. If this happens, attaching the slur to the stems might look better
\stemUp \slurUp d32( d'4 d8..) \override Slur #'attachment = #'(stem . stem) d,32( d'4 d8..)

Producing nice slurs is a difficult problem, and LilyPond uses a simple, empiric method to produce slurs. In some cases, its results are ugly.
