There are two ways you can find this out (btw you want PhrasingSlur
instead of Slur). If you go to the top documentation page, then
-> Program Reference
-> Backend
-> All layout objects (this is a very useful page, you can look up all
your overrides from here)
-> PhrasingSlur
At the bottom of the page is a list of all the interfaces supported by
PhrasingSlur. In this case, the properties (you need 2 of them) you are
looking for are in slur-interface, so click on that link.

Then look in the list of User-settable properties.

The other way to find this out is to work out what slurDotted is defined
to be. The definition is in ly/property-init.ly in your lilypond
installation directory. You can then use the same definition, but with
PhrasingSlur instead of Slur.
