sorry for the delayed response. Did you try simply to make a White box and then 
put it over the tie but behind the note?

I looked at doing that for a piece recently. it worked but I thought it looked 
awful. So I used \slurDown and that looked better. It was for some single very 
high flute part, so didn't use chords or other voices. 

sorry if this was irrelevant.
