It depends how you far you want to go. The best option would be an S style slur, ie. _________________________/ / but that is not supported by Lilypond out of the box. (Your slur really is too difficult for lily) Solutions: a) force a linebreak halfway the slur b) Do it manually (See 1.9 CVS) \version "1.9.8" \header { texidoc = "In extreme cases, you can resort to setting slur control-points manually.
