Re: Tie not rendering properly across volta alternatives

I have a follow-up question:
In a situation where there’s a \break, the tie created by \laissezVibrer in
bar 3 appears too short.
Is there a way to manually extend or adjust its length?

You could try out this ancient hack:  xlv in the attached code.
Change the 15 to get a different length.
