In the case of a broken tie, minimum-length would give the distance
relative to a NonMusicalPaperColumn on one side.

If the minimum-length property were accessible later on in the typesetting
process, you'd be able to do something like

[\once] \alterBroken minimum-length #'(1 . 5) Tie

or

[\once] \offset minimum-length #'(0 . 4) Tie

Both of these commands would address the pieces independently.

\alterBroken and \offset  act directly as overrides/tweaks of
'minimum-length, rather than doing their work within 'after-line-breaking
as your example does.  Perhaps it will never be possible to go through
'after-line-breaking, which may always  be too late.
