Well, \repeatTie doesn't take you very far into the ensuing phrase. And it doesn't swoop properly. A fairly easy way in this case is to add a hidden grace note: { \hideNotes \grace b16\( \unHideNotes c8 g8 c8 \) | } And you can use the grace pitch to adjust the starting height. This is

PS The symbols for koron and sori were introduced by Vaziri (1888-1980). His quartertone theory didn't last but his symbols have. Millions of pages of printed Persian music are around, with the koron and sori always obviously handwritten. Hopefully we (I) can typeset them in lilypond very soon.
