I'm not quite sure, if my solution is what You want, but perhaps try to
connect the tie with an unvisible note and use polyphony:
\stemUp
<< { \tieDown b1:32~b4~ \hideNotes b4 } \\
{ \unHideNotes s1 s4
\once\override Rest #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 4)
r4 }
>> r2 \bar "|."
This shows the tie pointing to the rest.
In this case it is necessary to shift the rest, because of the polyphony
sets it apart.
Another possibility without polyphony:
\stemUp
b1:32~b4*3/4~ \hideNotes b16 \unHideNotes r4 r2 \bar "|."
This ends the tie before the rest, but in my opinion the first form
looks a little bit better ... ;-)
By a little bit playing with it You could perhaps find a satisfying
solution.
Best Regards Roland
