Thank you, Harm.  tie-configuration was what I was missing.

You could do

\relative a,, {
  \clef bass
  \time 6/8

  4.(~

  \once \override TieColumn.tie-configuration = #'((-1 . 1)(-10 . -1))

  q8  ) |
}

Also, see NR about TieColumn.tie-configuration

Cheers,

Knute,

This works for 

\version "2.22.1"
\relative a,, {
  \clef bass
  \time 6/8
  a4.~ a4. |
  < a~ a'~>4.( q8  ) | }

So maybe it is a version issue?

Mark

Subject: Moving a tie in a chord

I'm trying to adjust the Y position of a tie in a chord, but I'm having 
trouble.  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  ) | } %%%

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?
