Editing Moving slur positions vertically

The vertical position of a slur can be adjusted using the <code>positions</code> property of <code>Slur</code>. The property has 2 parameters, the first referring to the left end of the slur and the second to the right. The values of the parameters are not used by LilyPond to make an exact movement of the slur - instead it selects what placement of the slur looks best, taking into account the parameter values. Positive values move the slur up, and are appropriate for notes with stems down. Negative values move downward slurs further down.
