Is that of any use? You can use LaissezVibrerTieColumn #'X-extent to lengthen them to your desired length.

Subject: Shortening ties


I have been attempting to get ties to stop short of the final notehead,
but have been unsuccessful after several days of trying.  So I now have
to ask for help.

 I am attempting to get the ties of a chord to stop well short of the
second note.

Logic dictates, to me at least, that one of these should work:

\once\override Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) <b,, b,,, >4--~

\once\override Staff.Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) < b,, b,,, >4--~

\once\override Voice.Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) < b,, b,,, >4--~

But they don't. I am not getting error messages, but the ties are not
moving, either.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Michael
