The units are staff spaces -- therefore, relative to the scaling of the 
page.

Generically, it might be written as:

\property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment-offset = #' ((start-x-offset . 
start-y-offset) end-x-offset . end-y-offset)

Therefore, you could adjust both ends at once, and not only by integer 
amounts:

\property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment-offset = #' ((2.3 . -0.4) 1 . 
-3.5)

And don't forget that you can (and probably do) want to apply this 
change only to the slur immediately following the command, which is 
indicated by prefixing the command with '\once':

\once \property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment-offset = #' ((2.3 . -0.4) 
1 . -3.5)

Hope this helps!
