Re: Slur adjusting

[Mats Bengtsson]

The slur support has been reimplemented in version 2.6 and
further improved in the latest development versions, 2.7.9
or later. Before you invest too much time on tweaking the
output of version 2.4, you may want to try a newer version.
Note also that you cannot expect the tweaks you do for version 2.4
to be of any specific relevance in later LilyPond versions.

You should definitely use \once. The question is just where you
should specify the settings, before the beginning of the slur or
before the end of the slur. I don't know the answer, so you had
better try it out yourself.
