I don't understand slurs either, but I'd just copy and paste that
section a whole bunch of times, then tweak lots of slur properties
and look at the results. Here's the options that I think you should
play with first:
attachment-offset
beautiful
slope-limit
height-limit
ratio
control-points probably _would_ do it, but it looks as though you need
to know quite a bit about how LilyPond's slur algorithms work in order
to use it. IMO it's much easier to try setting #'beautiful to 0.01,
0.5, 1.5, 5.0, and 10.0. :)
