Ok.  Since a slur doesn't seem to be a script I went back to trying:

\override Slur #'outside-staff-priority = #-1

after putting it nearer the relevant music code it did move the 
expressive marks inside but the vertical spacing increased drastically 
and produced the strange result shown by the code below.  Why aren't the 
accents and portatos the same distance from the noteheads as the 
staccato marks are?  They seem to follow the curve of the slur.

Thanks for your help so far.  I had read that part of the documentation 
and it didn't seem to make sense since it talked about scripts.

I would still like to know where in the Internals Reference I can find 
the tweakable properties of accents, etc.

Thanks,

Paul
