OK.

I'm trying to get http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=889 to work,
which I found after this suggestion.
This will *not* detect directions that stem from \voiceOne (or their
implicit friends through the \\ polyphony construct, isn't it?

Hm, I'll have to try figuring out what that means.
Can that discern between a manual (local) override or a polyphony
\voiceXXX assignment?
Another option that would help me if it were possible to override some
custom property whenever a polyphonc section starts or stops (but it has
to be the implicit \\ construct, as that is what comes in from a format
converter).
The thing is, I can always read the 'direction from ly:grob-property,
but that doesn't tell me anything about its cause.
The actual problem is: I want to overrule LilyPond's direction handling
and place ties always opposite of the stem direction - but only in
monophonic, i.e. \oneVoice situations. In polyphonic sections they have
to point "outside", just as usual.
