Copying two measures from Oscar's recent email, I came up with the following example which both shows an extremely ugly slur (which can be much improved by setting #'positions to almost any value) but above all puts the first notes to the left of the time signature. Admittedly, the slur is very difficult to typeset nicely whatever you do, but you shouldn't get notes to the left of the time signature.
(By chance, the same example also illustrates another bug in version 2.10 that has been fixed in 2.11.) \version "2.11.41" << \new Staff = up { s1*2 } \new Staff = down \relative c,{\clef bass \stemDown % Commenting out the next line gives a much nicer slur shape % almost no matter what values I specify for the positions. % \once \override Slur #'positions = #'(5 . 5) f4.
