If we start something like this, I would like to add a feature that I 
miss: offsetting the endpoints of a slur/tie/... like
  \once \override Slur.left-X-offset = -1.5
This should behave like
  \shape #'((0 . 0) (? . 0) (? . 0) (-1.5 . 0)) Slur
and find correct values for the ? automatically (same for right and Y). 
This would be nice because the ? values depend on the length of the slur 
and you have to guess correct values by trial-and-error.

(I hope I didn't overlook a setting that does this ...)

Slur.positions does something similar but only for Y direction and it 
doesn't work always as I expect.
