Tweaking completion ties

[Michael Seifert]

        Hello everyone,

        Is there an easy way to tweak the “completion ties” that are created at 
the start of a new system when a line break occurs during a tie?  I haven’t 
been able to figure out what the correct “handle” is for these objects.  In the 
example below, I can modify the properties of the ties in the first system by 
giving an \override Tie.[property] command before the tie starts.  But I would 
like to be able to manually adjust the properties of the “completion” ties that 
start the second system in the example below, without affecting the ties in the 
first system.

        Ideally I would like to be able to adjust the upper and lower 
completion ties independently in the example below;  but failing that, 
something that would tweak both of them simultaneously would still be helpful.

        (The context for this question is that in a score I’m working on, the 
lower completion tie in a new system is placed somewhat far away from the note, 
which pushes a lower ottava bracket far enough down that it could be confused 
with an upper ottava bracket on the system below.)

        Take care,

        Mike Seifert

\relative c' {

        <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~
        \break
        \override Tie.direction = #UP  %This doesn’t seem to do anything
        <c c’>1 R1*3
