Comment #4 on issue 695 by address@hidden: slurs may take too much  
vertical extent
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=695

Taken from a message on user with a workaround in this specific case that  
may help others who run into this (at least until this issue  
gets 'resolved').

--snip--

\version "2.15.21"

#(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines #t)

\relative c'' {
 \override DynamicLineSpanner #'avoid-slur = #'ignore
 \override DynamicTextSpanner #'avoid-slur = #'ignore
 \override DynamicText #'avoid-slur = #'ignore
 a\p f g e f d a g
 a'(\p f g e f d a g)
}

(see attached)

Workaround suggested by Xavier S:

 \once \override Slur #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)

is a workaround that was suggested and works quite well in this case.
