Re: Nesting SLurs and phrases

Then raise it:

music = {
  \slurDown e''8-1^\markup { \bold "#8"} ^\(
  \slurNeutral f-2( e f) fis-3 f-2( fis f\))
}

\score { \music }

Please read the docs [or read them more closely, if you believe you've already 
read them].
Start with the Learning Manual, where it shows how to code slurs.

Cheers,
Kieren.
