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

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

I make the middle line stems go down all the time unless the notes are beamed to other notes and then the predominating stem direction takes over. Stems-up quarter and half notes on the middle line look wrong to my eyes. I move the ends of slurs to make them look better than the default
