And now I understand your statement to change the settings.
Sorry.

I think you misunderstand: There is no reason to have a setting where the slur on the stem side starts near the top of the stem. With my settings the slur starts near the notehead. And has the right slope. So the best thing is actually to change the defaults, rather than move every slur. With Engraver slurs there is no need to have defaults where stem side slurs start near the end of the stem (you can have separate settings for 8ths and multi-voice systems).

If you have one note stem-up and the next note stem-down (second space stem up to middle line stem down), the slur goes from the stem (almost at the top) to the note head. So the slur has an overall down appearance, while the pitch is going up. If you flip the slur, it goes from notehead to near the end of the stem, again with a downward slope while the pitch is rising.
That was his original complaint about the slurs and why he was asking about stems-up or stems-down on middle line -- the slope of the slur mimics the melodic line if both of the notes have same stem direction.
Which is why I said "or change the slur" -- you can drag the end that is attached to the stem and move it closer to the note head so it imitates the melodic motion.
Or not, if you're not concerned about that issue.
