How do I persuade Lilypond to position all accent marks inside slurs?  At the moment, in a passage containing numerous accents and slurs, I am finding that some accents are outside the slur and some inside, which looks a mess!

It's hard to help you with a Minimum WorkingExample (MWE, see https://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html) but a sledgehammer approach would be to use...

\override Script.avoid-slur = #'inside

This will force ALL Scripts inside of the slurs, but that means other things like pralls and turns too.  You could do them one by one with:

\tweak avoid-slur = #'inside

Post a MWE for us to work with and we'll give you a better answer.
