Re: Tie at the beginning of the piece

[Mats Bengtsson]

You can use the \repeatTie command to get the connecting tie before the 
first note, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Long-repeats#Normal-repeats

In this particular situation, it might also make sense to add invisible 
notes before and after the snippet and use ordinary ties, see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Inside-the-staff#Hidden-notes
This would probably make it easier to adjust the length of the ties.
