Hello,
It looks like an instance of issue 1411.
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/1411
Mike Solomon fixed a lot of cross-staff issues in the past but the ones
with slurs seem to remain open.
Maybe someone could build on Mike's work on cross-staff beam collisions to
solve cross-staff collisions with slurs.
I do not know a nice workaround for you though, sorry.

exactly doing what it's doing in my score. In my score there is more space
between the voice and piano. Where it says crystal in this example is where
the slur is colliding with the lyrics in my score. The accompaniment is
chords, the melody is approximately correct.

after the break. I am wondering why this is? And how to correct it?

How do you all do it? What's easiest for you and why?

Sibelius when he sees all these slur mishaps lol. I've used lilypond for
years because I loathed Finale. I just still have a lot to learn and
understand.
