The control-points property uses points relative to
the start of the slur, unlike the attachment points
which are relative to the beginning and end.  The
control-points values tend to be quite large, '((0 .
1) (10 . -8) (20 . -8) (30 . 1)) that sort of thing. 
It is awkward to use, but looking at your excerpt I
don't know a better way.

I agree that there are a lot of problems and holes in
the Backend documentation.  Usually perseverance does
the trick.  If you find a solution to a particularly
stubborn problem, please post it in the Snippets
Repository so the rest of us can benefit!
