When a slur crosses a line break, the slur after the break begins
before the key signature. Phrasing slurs, on the other hand, begin
after the key signature. (This is not clear in any of the regression
tests because the slur examples are all in C major.) I know that this
sort of question has come up in the past, but how much work would it
be to change ordinary slurs to begin after the key signature? I
believe that this would solve two bugs simultaneously:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=427

and it would greatly assist me in notating vocal music, where the two
kinds of slurs are not directly interchangeable (phrasing slurs do not
cause melismas).

I tried reading the slur code myself but I was totally lost. (I hoped
to find a simple difference between the two kins of phrases so I could
offer an initial suggestion, but I'm not nearly that good yet.)

I'm just looking for an estimate of the difficulty/likelihood of a fix
for starters.
