Re: Slur in wrong place: rests too high: adjust stave separation for just one system

You can always use #'extra-offset to move it.

See the docs on "explicitly instantiating voices" (or whatever it is  
now) to see what you were doing wrong -- this should get you on the  
right track:

slurFix = \once \override Slur #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)
\score
{
        \relative c'
        {
                r8 <d b' d> r8\<
                <<
                        { \voiceTwo \slurFix <d_~ b'>^( <d a'>)\![ c] }
                        \new Voice { \voiceOne d' ~ d16( c a g) \bar "||" }
                >>
        }
}

Hope this helps!
