Knute,
Yes, I think there is just a misunderstanding. X-extent or Y-extent are used
to tell the layout algorithm how large a grob is in the respective
directions, HOWEVER /it doesn't actually change the size of the grob
itself/. It's a way to cleverly giving the grob more space than it has be
default. I think you should probably just use \shape here to change the
size/shape of the laissezVibrer tie.
