Hi David,

Well, in this case, I’m engraving a Schenker graph… so I doubt anyone will be
playing it. ;)
But regardless of the meaning of it… it’s a collision, and Lilypond should
handle the case accordingly, no?

Yes. But Lilypond corrects for the presence of (and potential collision with)
articulations, etc. — why not for the presence of (and potential collision
with) another slur?

I’m hoping there’s a global setting, rather than a [time-consuming]
slur-by-slur manual approach: in Schenker graphs, this construct is very
common, and it would be a shame if one couldn’t set a "horizontal padding"
between adjacent slurs.
Thanks!
Kieren.
