Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.  Surprisingly,
something as simple as:

{
\time 4/4
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
c'8~ e'~ g'~ <<c' e' g' b'>>
}

creates a collision of tie with top note.  I'm having flashbacks to my
teacher telling me "You use Finale, right?  Just click the tie and
slide the end of it back a little."  This could get really rough
really quick!
