Thanks, that works better, but there is no way to code broken
ligatures out-of-the-box, as shown in the picture.

Fortunately, a quick glimpse into the internals reference helps to find
the following solution:

\language "english"

UebungZwei = {
  \key fs \major
  \time 4/4
  \once \override LigatureBracket.edge-height = #'(0.0 . 0.7)
  \once \override LigatureBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-3.0 . -0.2)
  \[ fs,,4 \] r r \[ c, |\break cs,?4 \] r r2 | gs,,4 r r2 |
  \override LigatureBracket.edge-height = #'(0.7 . 0.0)
  \override LigatureBracket.shorten-pair = #'(-0.2 . -3.0)
   b,,4 r r \[ f,, \]
  \bar ":|."
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \new Voice \with {
        \remove "Forbid_line_break_engraver"
        \override Beam #'breakable = ##t
      }
      {
      \clef "bass_8"
      \UebungZwei
    }
    }
    \new TabStaff {
      \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #bass-tuning
      \clef "moderntab"
      \UebungZwei
    }
  >>
}

Thanks,

Marc
