What I skipped over was the "indicate that notes must not be damped at the end" bit. My use is not related to that at all: I'm in a long repeat and the tie relates to the first note of the next bar, which is back at the start-repeat sign. I am not using a "piano, harp and other string and percussion." My apologies, I mean no offence, I missed seeing the little curved line in the L.v. example and how it might be applied to repeats :-) > So please tell us exactly what index entries you were trying to look > up, and which are still missing.

There is an example of \repeatTie in the Ties section when used in the Volta/Alternative but not of using \laissezVibrer to do the same on the first ending. (And I missed the implications of the next paragraph.) So there is no problem, I simply didn't know, couldn't find an answer to my specific question, and asked on the forum where you're meant to ask such questions. My confusion is simply one of terminology and unfamiliarity with lilypond. Kind regards .. mark.
