Repeat question - cross staff slur

I posted this question some time ago but haven't had any responses as yet - maybe it didn't get through. I want a cross-staff slur within a PianoStaff context. I've tried putting all the notes into one voice and then putting the \change Staff command within the voice context. The start of the slur

Hm. Here's my understanding of it: You can say it's all about the granularity of the setting. \override manipulates settings which are specific to one graphical object/grob (e.g. a NoteHead). \set changes settings on a higher level, and can modify more than one type of grob. There is at
