Sorry about top-posting - it seems I'm the only Outlook Express user here,
and it's lots of hassle to mid-post...
Thanks to Mats, Neil and Davis for their help. I got the code from Mats and
David working, and it's possible to shape the slurs very elegantly this way.
However, to use it I'd have to include the code in all my LilyPond code and
thought this could be confusing, so I've adopted Neil's solution and now
included it into my Noteworthy to LilyPond translator.

Subject: Re: Slur shapes
It seems that you have looked at the snippet
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=639
The command \shapeSlur which is used in this example is not included in
LilyPond by default, but is rather defined within the example file itself.
To use it, you have to copy the lines from "shapeSlur =" down to "cords))"
into the top of your own .ly file.

If I use the snippet attached, the slur over the notes goes way higher
than I'd want and makes the stave spacing in my score poor. I've tried
using:
\shapeSlur #'(x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 . .x4 y4) [well, actually \shapeSlur
#'(0 -2.5 -1 3.5 0 0 0 -2.5) ]
but get an error:
error: unknown escaped string: `\shapeSlur'
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a less extreme shape to the
slur, please?
