Slurs are entered using parentheses:
f4( g a) a8 b( a4 g2 f4) <c e>2( <b d>2)
Slurs may be manually placed above or below the notes, see Direction and placement.
c2( d) \slurDown c2( d) \slurNeutral c2( d)
Phrasing slurs must be used to print more than one slur at once. For details, see Phrasing slurs.
Slurs can be solid, dotted, or dashed. Solid is the default slur style:

Using double slurs for legato chords
Some composers write two slurs when they want legato chords. This can
be achieved by setting doubleSlurs
.
\relative c' { \set doubleSlurs = ##t <c e>4( <d f> <c e> <d f>) }
