Slurs too close to staccatos

Hello,

Is there a global setting that provides a little more space between the slur and the staccato? See pic below. The only setting I know of is in Engrave Options>Articulations>Gap between Notehead and articulation. Mine is currently set to 5/8 spaces. I am pleased with that setting for staccatos that are not in conflict with a slur and do not want them any higher. I’m also pleased with my slur endpoints when they don’t come near a staccato. (Slurs>Horizontal offset from center of notehead: 0 spaces.)

Thank you.

I’m more comfortable with articulations being inside slurs.

So am I, but sometimes it makes the slurs look wonky with no good option for better.
