Hey Markus,

Slurs only make sense insofar as they act on individual voices.  To improve the 
readability of your score, you could either :

(1) put the two slurred in a second voice
(2) create a glissando just between the a and bes & remove the slur

Option (2) comes up a fair bit in guitar music.

Cheers,
Mike
