Yes! You can also force the direction for beams ("^[" and "_["), ties,
phrasing slurs, dynamics, text, markups, etc. Can't say I've tried it on
everything, but those definitely work. Using "\once \slurDown" is basically
the same as "_(". The same philosophy applies to the other grobs.

Well, the "\shape" command basically assigns a set of four "extra-offset"
value-pairs for each control point in each curve (I say "curve" since it can
be used for ties, slurs, and phrasing slurs, and "each curve" because it can
be used for broken curves, or those that cross multiple systems). 

Using the same values over and over again is, therefore, not advisable since
most curves that LilyPond ends up choosing are not shaped alike (since it is
at this point the extra-offset value-pairs are applied). Therefore, if the
"\shape" command is necessary, the value-pairs will need to be customized
for each curve you desire to tweak.

Happy Engraving,
Abraham
