It's the 'etc.' bit that bothers me in that this is not a simple one line answer, and the answer is 'it depends' There is a very good section in the Learning Manual http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/learning/the-internals-reference-manual That walks you through various scenarios (in fact the first one is a 'slur'). And this should show you how to find which context and grob you need to modify for a particular object.
