You could use this, but it's relative to the staff-position of the
tie, which complicates things slightly.

This is the easiest way to do it, assuming you don't have any tied chords:

\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
  #(lambda (grob)
      (let* ((notehead (ly:grob-parent grob X))
              (y-off (* 2 (ly:grob-property notehead 'Y-offset))))
        (list (cons y-off 0))))

> \override Tie #'note-head-gap = #0

This is a sub-property of 'details, so you have to use #'details
#'note-head-gap for it to work.  You'll probably need to tweak this if
you have any ties on legered notes.
