Thanks for your contributions. They inspired me to an easy bypass: ties may not work between staves, but slurs do, and the difference is not really conspicuous. Result attached.

I'd agree with Knute: you have to bite the bullet and learn \shape. But in the old stackexchange post, I'd be tempted to make the tie unambiguous. The result is not publishable, but I don't think it leaves room for doubt, even with no extra work, and it's \break- able at either barline. (I'm assuming the lower e /is/ restruck in measure two.) Cheers, David.
