RE: Modified laissez vibrer ties

Never mind--I found the solution: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=794

I only just discovered the LSR, so I completely forgot to check there before 
bothering everyone here. Oops. :-P

Not very elegant, but this might be a possibility:

\relative c'' {
  \override Slur #'to-barline = ##t
  a1*3/4( \once \hideNotes a4) a1
}

or, if you prefer,

\relative c'' {
  a1*3/4 -\tweak #'to-barline ##t ( \once \hideNotes a4) a1 }


Unlike hairpins, 'to-barline for Slurs seems to extend the slur to the _next_ 
bar line rather than stopping it short at the previous one.
And the hidden note seems to require a non-zero duration too.
