At the moment I am having an issue with a tie from the alto part where it
is automatically "squished" by Lillypond. I didn't find an answer anywhere
else on how to create some space between or make the tie somewhat
noticeable. Also using the command* \shape* on the tie was not the right
choice this time (which I successfully used on some colliding ties
somewhere else in the piece).
This is how it looks in the original source:

and this is how Lilypond engraved it (notice the tie became a very little
dot):

Here is the relevant part of my code (I include one measure before and one
after to preserve the layout) :
_____________
\version "2.24.3"
global = { \time 4/4 \key a \minor }
soprano = \relative d'' {
\voiceOne

\score {

\new Voice = "tenor" { \tenor }
\new Voice = "bass" { \bass }
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment
1/8 )
}
}
}
I would really appreciate your help.
Best,
