Making a quarter note look like a half note? |

Hello world,
I need to create a tie that stops in the middle of a bar (the final
note of a piece should carry a tie to nowhere to indicate `laissez
vibrer'). Tying to an invisible grace note does not work -- it would
create an additional bar. I reckon I can fill the 2/4 bar with a
quarter note and tie it to an invisible second quarter:
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff {
\time 2/4 \relative c'' {
<c e g c>2~|<c e g c>2~|
<c e g c>4~ \hideNotes <c e g c> \unHideNotes \bar "|."
}
}
\new Staff { \clef bass \time 2/4
\relative c {
<c e g>2~|<c e g>2~|
<c e g>4~ \hideNotes <c e g> \unHideNotes \bar "|."
}
}
>>
}
But how can I make the quarter notes look like half notes? I know I
can change the note head *style* with something like
\once \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
But I don't need a different style, but another symbol from the *same*
style. What property do I need to override? Or do I have to go all the
way and reprogram the chord with \applyoutput?
(BTW, searching the list archives appears to be broken. I get
no results for any search whatsoever.)
