Hello Kevin,

Perhaps drawing slurs, then tweaking their placements may be an effective 
solution? You can use "\shape #’(four lists of pairs) Slur” for this, and to 
make it visually more easier for you, you can use its sibling “\vshape” … 
Something like this:

%%%BEGIN%%%
\version "2.24.4"

\language "english"
{
 \repeat volta 2 {
  \shape #'((-3 . 1) (-2.5 . -1) (0 . 0) (0 . 0)) Slur
  d'8. ( e'16 f'8 ) r8

  r8
  \vshape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 0) (3 . -1) (5 . 1.5)) Slur
  g'8 ( e'8 c'8 )
 }
}
%%%END%%%

I hope this helps!
Yoshi
