May bad. I missed that, and this is exactly the symbol I wanted to use.

What I skipped over was the "indicate that notes must not be damped at 
the end" bit. My use is not related to that at all: I'm in a long 
repeat and the tie relates to the first note of the next bar, which is 
back at the start-repeat sign. I am not using a "piano, harp and other 
string and percussion." 

My apologies, I mean no offence, I missed seeing the little curved line 
in the L.v. example and how it might be applied to repeats :-)

I thought I could find out how to do in the section on "Long Repeats," 
perhaps showing a snippet. 

There is an example of \repeatTie in the Ties section when used in the 
Volta/Alternative but not of using \laissezVibrer to do the same on the 
first ending. (And I missed the implications of the next paragraph.)

So there is no problem, I simply didn't know, couldn't find an answer 
to my specific question, and asked on the forum where you're meant to 
ask such questions. My confusion is simply one of terminology and 
unfamiliarity with lilypond.

Kind regards
