I attach two. Op25-n3 is more obvious. Its code (w/o slur) would be
something like

\version "2.15.30"
\new Staff \relative f {
  <<
    \new Voice { \voiceOne d''16 c8. g16 f8. }
    \new Voice { \voiceTwo f8[ f'] c,[ c'] }
  >>
}


A comfortable syntax would be \startSlur #name ... \endSlur #name like in

  <<
    \new Voice { \voiceOne d''16 \startSlur #A  c8. }
    \new Voice { \voiceTwo f,8[ f']  \endSlur #A }
  >>

A #name would be reusable if the slur has ended in a previous column.
Otherwise, new names everywhere would be needed.
