I have a slur that spans several systems and I want to change the every last endpoint. My understanding of \shape is that this should work:

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

\relative c' {

  \shape #'( (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0)

             (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0)

             (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0)

             (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (5 . -5) ) Slur

  c4 ( c c c | c c c c \break

  c4 c c c | c c c c \break

  c4 c c c | c c c c \break

  c4 c c c | c c c d ) \break

}

...but the slur that end at the d does not change shape. 

The syntax of \shape calls for a list of number-pair lists.  This will work for you:

  \shape #'( ((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0))

             ((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0))

             ((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0))

             ((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (5 . -5)) ) Slur
