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?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-12/msg00745.html 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.
