Either I don't understand this, or it doesn't work.  What I did was
add the line:

\property Staff.Tie \set #'x-gap = #0.4

to the file I sent last night. In the section where I'm setting other
properties. The output looks identical to the original to me.  Is this
what you meant, or should I have done something else?
