Well, first start off with a simple example: \version "2.11.65" \relative c'' { c4( \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t cis d4.) c8 } Hmm, it prints an error message. It would be helpful to report this to the bug list.
You know, I never know if those things are actual bugs, or simply due to my lack of understanding how the program works. I never know if what I'm seeing is erroneous output, or erroneous input.
Then try to make it behave properly: \version "2.11.65" \relative c'' { \override AccidentalSuggestion #'avoid-slur = #'inside c4( \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t cis d4.) c8 } …use some ugly hack with #'extra-offset and the Slur overrides to get the output you want.
This is the point at which I asked the list for help. I didn't come to the concept of using #'extra-offset on my own, and a simple "try using #'extra-offset for the slur" would probably have sufficed to point me in the direction I needed (in fact, jonathan kulp suggested it, and came very close to what I ended up using as my workaround. I did get useful help. But, from our resident chairman of the not-warm- and-fuzzy committee, I got premeditated sarcasm that related to a completely different issue, and when I forced the point of how *not* helpful that information was, I got tons of examples of how my problem was *not* solved, and a suggestion to do something that had already been suggested and illustrated. So, while this time, our resident not-warm-and-fuzzy committee chairman did provide examples so we didn't have to guess what he meant, he still omitted the easiest part of helping which could have simple been, \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( 0.0 . -5.0), instead of the wonderful instruction in how to properly use lilypond.
