David, Thank you for your kind and excellent suggestion! I've been able to use your suggestions all morning in a larger piano score. Some applications are best not universally applied, such as tieWaitForNote. It provides some added ties in unpredictable spots. I added a modification to your original code:
\relative c'' { \new Staff \with { \consists "Tie_engraver" tieWaitForNote = ##t } << \new Voice \with { \remove "Tie_engraver" } { \voiceOne c8 e~ s4 g8 d'~ s4 } \new Voice \with { \remove "Tie_engraver" } { \voiceTwo <c,_~>4 <c e g>8 e_~ \override Staff.TieColumn.tie-configuration = #'((2.5 . -1) (6.0 . 1)) <e~ g~>4 <e g d'> } >> } This allowed me to tighten up the appearance of the tie between the two g's.
