Shaping individual ties between chords (especially those with adjacent notes) has always been an issue in LilyPond. Recently (in what I think is a new page of documentation for 2.25) I discovered \once \override TieColumn.positioning-done = ##t which has enabled me to solve virtually all my problems with shaping ties.
However, I have now hit an instance in which I had hoped this would help, but it hasn't. In the attached example the shaping specified for the third tie does not have any effect, and this is true with or without the above command. (Note that the need for this is more apparent in the context from which this is lifted.) Can anyone suggest how to do it? (I mean, I know I can probably replace the tie concerned with a single slur and tweak it into shape, but that's not a general solution.) Thanks, Paul
