Slur.details.free-head-distance will do what you want. Make it larger, and the slur will move away from the heads of the notes.

Subject: how to increase Slur padding?
Hi all,
In a current engraving project, I’ve got lots of slurs which I don’t have time to \shape manually. Mostly, I’d just like a little more "padding" between the slur and the highest note in an arpeggiating pattern:
This could either be accomplished by making the slur a little "taller", or moving it a little up, or both.
I tried to adjust #'padding, but that didn’t work. I looked in #'details, but couldn’t make heads-nor-tails of which one(s) of the many parameters would be the one(s) to adjust.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kieren.
