Either I don't understand this, or it doesn't work. What I did was
add the line:
\property Staff.Tie \set #'x-gap = #0.4
to the file I sent last night. In the section where I'm setting other
properties. The output looks identical to the original to me. Is this
what you meant, or should I have done something else?
