Hi Richard, Thanks for your clarification. My problem is: How does one know at which moment something, for example a slur, or the call for the grob "slur", is started? A case in point is \arpeggio. Naively one may think this command has to be placed before the notes, not after. Wrong! No idea why. I realise that my intuition is sometimes correct, or that up till now I've just got away with my mistakes.
Maybe rules, general and/or specific, concerning the placement of commands, like \override and \tweak, can be found somewhere in the documentation, but so far I have not seen any.
