What I would do here is to enter all the accents first using the usual A metatool. Then once the slurs are in, I would be in a better position to know which ones needed to be inside. I would assign the A metatool to the OTHER accent, with the inside positioning. Once any articulation is selected, a double tap on the metatool A will replace it with the new one. Or I could come up with a new metatool, depending on how organised and rigourous I was feeling.
