Hi Robert,

Well, I don't have 2.18, so I don't know if this is available to you, but
if you can use the openlilylib bezier shaping code, you can have very fine
control using the \shapeII function.

\version "2.19.48"

{
  \time 2/4 \key des \major \omit Staff.TimeSignature

  \override Tie.minimum-length-after-break = #13
  \shapeII #'((() () () (-0.6 . 0))
              ((0.9 . 0) (p 20 0.4) (p 20 0.4) ())
              ) Tie

  ges'2~ | \break
  ges'2
}


This is far more tedious than Pierre's solution, but it sure works and you
can tune it to the approval of your professional engraver friend!

Andrew
