Thanks, that’s good to know.  In the end, while playing with 
\alterBroken I discovered that I could increase 
Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor to get the effect I wanted.  It 
didn’t work in the \alterBroken command (perhaps because it’s accessed before 
line breaking?) but it had the desired effect as an override.

\version "2.24.0"

\relative c' {

        <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~
        \override Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor = #10
        <ces ces'>1~
        \break
        <ces ces'>1
        R1*3
}

        Take care,

        Mike Seifert
