Laissez vibrer direction

[Marcus Macauley]

I see that this issue was unresolved on the lilypond-user list, Panteck  
and Graham Percival posting (06 Sep 2006). And I ran into it myself today.

So here's a bug report.

Let me know if I've misunderstood how it's supposed work.

\version "2.9.26"
% Bug report for LaissezVibrerTie:
% its direction seems to be broken.
% By default, it's fine for chords, but always down for notes.
% (It should be either up or down depending on the note's
% position on the staff, as with regular ties).
% And \override doesn't work on the #'direction setting, e.g.:
% \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #UP

{
    \override TextScript #'padding = #1

    s4*0^"DEFAULT:"
    d'4~d' d'\laissezVibrer_"down?" r
    g''4~g'' g''\laissezVibrer_"up?" r
    <d' g''>4~<d' g''> <d' g''>\laissezVibrer_"up/down?" r
    \break

    \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #UP
    s4*0^"UP:"
    d'4~d' d'\laissezVibrer_"up?" r
    g''4~g'' g''\laissezVibrer_"up?" r
    <d' g''>4~<d' g''> <d' g''>\laissezVibrer_"up/up?" r
    \break

    \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #DOWN
    s4*0^"DOWN:"
    d'4~d' d'\laissezVibrer_"down?" r
    g''4~g'' g''\laissezVibrer_"down?" r
    <d' g''>4~<d' g''> <d' g''>\laissezVibrer_"down/down?" r
    \break
}

\layout{ ragged-right=##t indent=#0 }

I can't figure out how to do it, either.  The following notes look the
same to me:

\version "2.9.17"
\layout{ragged-right=##t}
{
   \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #UP
   c'4\laissezVibrer
   \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #DOWN
   c'4\laissezVibrer
}

However, laissezVibrer ties can clearly tie up, since we see it in the
example in the manual (as part of a chord).  Have I missed anything?
