-Slurs avoid crossing stems, and are generally attached to note heads.
-However, in some situations with beams, slurs may be attached to stem
-ends.  If you want to override this layout you can do this through the
-object property @code{attachment} of @internalsref{Slur}.  Its value
-is a pair of symbols, specifying the attachment type of the left and
-right end points
+@noindent
+However, there is a convenient shorthand for forcing slur
+directions. By adding @code{_} or @code{^} before the opening
+parentheses, the direction is also set. For example,  
 
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,relative=1,verbatim]
-\slurUp
-\override Stem #'length = #5.5
-g'8(g g4)
-\override Slur #'attachment = #'(stem . stem)
