Hi everyone! I tried to isolate the issue with Tie directions that I posted
earlier and I'm fairly confident I've stumbled upon a bug.
Look at the output of this snippet (Sorry for the length, I made it as
short as I could)

When \voiceOne is in full effect, both \once \tieDown and \once \override
Tie.direction seem to have a permanent effect that kicks in after the
moment they are used, which is exactly the opposite to what they should do
(take effect only in the moment they are called and revert to the previous
behavior after). This is very clear when you compare the All V1 Staff with
the No EE Staff: the All V1 behaves in the exact opposite way.
I have absolutely no idea about why this may be happening, but I'm certain
that one should expect the EE to achieve the same results that manually
writing the code in the desired place and moment would.
Hopefully Jan-Peter or someone more knowledgeable than I can look into it!
I hope this "research" can be useful!
