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!
