Hi Knute,

overriding Slur.positions isn’t always effective, since it only helps 
choose from the candidates Lily was considering anyway. First, if you do 
want to use it on an inside-chord slur, you need a tweak like <f\=1 
-\tweak positions #'(-2 . -2) (>. Second, I’d suggest using \shapeII 
from openLilyLib:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.83"
\language "english"
\include "oll-core/package.ily"
\loadModule snippets.notation-snippets.shaping-bezier-curves.shapeII

\relative {
  \time 12/8
  \stemDown
  <e' c'>8 <e df'> <e_~ c'>^( <e bf'> <f af>) <f\=1 -\shapeII #'((0 . 
-.7)(p 30 .4)(p 30 .4)(.2 . -.7)) _( bf>(
    <e\=1) c'> <e df'>) <e_~ c'>^( <e bf'> <f af>) <af bf> |
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Note the new syntax for language selection.

Best, Simon
