Look at the files ending with -engraver.cc.  If you study some of the
simpler examples (e.g., tweak-engraver.cc, parentheses-engraver.cc or
bend-engraver.cc), you should get a feel for how they're implemented.

The Slur_engraver looks quite complicated, but it's a walk in the park
compared with the code which does all the slur scoring/formatting. :)
