Thanks so far
One solution is to look up the default definitions in the file property-init.ly (see "Default Files" in the manual) and make corresponding definitions for repeat ties or redefine the existing commands.
That's the thing I did. Unfortunately the command "\override RepeatTie #'direction = #UP" does NOT influence the output (or is that not the correct command?). Other things - like thickness or the head direction (of repeatTieColumn)- I could change.
