After seeing the results of the original answer to my question reversing 
the slur direction is what I ended up doing.  

I wasn't aware that slur direction could be changed with "_" as 
articulations can.  I used \slurDown and \slurNeutral.

The original that I am making a new part from neatly attached the 
beginning of the slur to the top of the flag of the first note.

I wonder if the \shape solution above would have to be recalculated for each 
new situation.


Thank you,
