Slur.details.free-head-distance will do what you want.  Make it larger, and the 
slur will move away from the heads of the notes.

Subject: how to increase Slur padding?

Hi all,

In a current engraving project, I’ve got lots of slurs which I don’t have time 
to \shape manually. Mostly, I’d just like a little more "padding" between the 
slur and the highest note in an arpeggiating pattern:

[cid:969B7066-9D30-48E7-BA31-DD9308C8857C@home]

This could either be accomplished by making the slur a little "taller", or 
moving it a little up, or both.

I tried to adjust #'padding, but that didn’t work. I looked in #'details, but 
couldn’t make heads-nor-tails of which one(s) of the many parameters would be 
the one(s) to adjust.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kieren.
