They both support script-interface, but not necessarily all the
properties available.

DynamicText grobs are filtered out in the acknowledger for scripts, so
there's no scope for 'avoid-slur to have any effect.  Allowing them to
be acknowledged doesn't fix the problem (it just results in Issue #30
reappearing).

You need to switch off 'outside-staff-priority, since it takes
precedence over 'avoid-slur.
