I've been struggling to replicate the placement of slurs and ties in the following original:

Problem is, I can't get the slurs and ties to appear _within_ the beamed note. They always appear above the beam if the stem is up and below if the stem is down:

I've tried all sorts of things: hidden notes shifted as appropriate in order to position the slurs and ties in the desired location, hidden notes within a context that has the Collision_engraver removed, and so on. I've even considered manually (and tediously!) setting the control points for each slur. But there must be a better way!

Here is my LilyPond code. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!!
 
\version "2.12.2" 
 
mainVoice = \new Voice { 
  \relative c'' {  
    \slurDown 
    \set doubleSlurs = ##t 
    #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 1 8) 
    #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 3 8) 
    #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 4 8) 
    \stemUp <g d'>8 (<fis d'>)  <g d'> (<fis d'>) \stemDown <b d>   
    (<c d>) \stemUp <b d> (<fis d'>) <g d'>8  
    (<fis d'>) <g d'> (<fis d'>) \stemDown <b d>   
    (<c d>) <a d> (<b d>) <d g> (<d fis>) 
    #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 1 8) 
    #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 3 8) 
    #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 4 8) 
  } 
} 
 
notes = { 
  \clef treble 
  \key g \major 
  \time 2/4 
  s8 * 3  
  \mainVoice 
} 
 
 
\score { 
  \new Staff  
  { 
    \notes 
  } 
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

You might find some ideas in the Notation Reference section 1.2.1 under Ties. There is a snippet at the end which shows the use of the tie-configuratoin property of TieColumn. Essentially, it allows you to place your ties explicitly.
