Werner,

Technically, the slur over the eighth notes is not
"attached to the stem heads", it is rather outside
of the eighth-note beam which, if I'm not mistaken,
is where it belongs.

However, if you really want to bring the slur to the
noteheads, you could override the control-points
property of Slur. This is not an ideal solution just
because setting control-points is usually an awkward
task (lots of trial-and-error), and you'd have to do
it individually for each different combination of
notes, but it's better than nothing, I suppose.

It would seem to me that there ought to be an easier
way to get what you want, so if anyone knows, let us
know!
