Knute, This works for
\version "2.22.1" \relative a,, { \clef bass \time 6/8 a4.~ a4. | < a~ a'~>4.( q8 <b b'> <g g'>) | } So maybe it is a version issue?

What works for a single tie doesn't seem to work for a chord: %%% \version "2.22.2" moveTie = { \once \override Tie.staff-position = -5 \once \override Tie.direction = #DOWN } \relative a,, { \clef bass \time 6/8 \moveTie a4.~ a4. | <\single \moveTie a~ a'~>4.( q8 <b b'> <g g'>) | } %%% In the snippet, I first test whether the overrides will work on a single tie, then try it in a chord. I saw that there is a layout object called TieColumn, but I couldn't figure out which property to use. I tried a few (Y-offset, Y-extent, extra-offset) but the tie didn't move. Can anyone show me how to get the bottom tie of the first chord in the second measure to move up? -- Knute Snortum
