Oh, perhaps I haven't made this clear. I have read the learning
manual. I do not have it memorised. I don't use extra offset all
that often. I asked for help because the ways I know of how to move
the object, (namely looking in the IR for things that might control
positioning the object, in this case, avoid-slur) didn't work. And
I wanted help understanding it, because usually when something
doesn't work the way I'm expecting, it's because I don't understand
what the expected behavior is.
The polemics aside, I think the most important question in this thread
is: Why haven't you found the necessary information in the manual?
Now that you know the answer (at least I hope you do), can you tell us
the reason?

There's nothing there to clue me in as to why avoid-slur didn't work.
Maybe missing references? Missing examples? Imprecise documentation?
The information you have searched for is in another chapter?
Something else?
Once I learned about outside staff-priority, everything was good.
Which for me is the usual situation: I get unexpected output, and
then learn that there's a perfectly acceptable reason for that
output. In this case: outside-staff-priority takes precedence over
avoid-slur. The learning manual and exra-offset were never needed.
