Someone on IRC suggested a separate voice with hidden notes, just for the slurs. I ended up going with this approach because it yielded the best visual result:
\new Voice = "intro_slurs" { \hideNotes \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t \relative c' { \key f \major <f g>1 ~ | <f g>4 } } Then, the other voices just started out with a { s1 | } ...
