Moving a tie horizontally

[Viktor Mastoridis]

Hello,

I am creating chord strumming indications with a tie.

I'm using the \improvisationOn handle, and the tie appears a bit too high and to the right.

Using  \override Tie.Y-offset  I can move the tie vertically, but \override Tie.X-offset yields no results.

I have searched across forums and manuals, tried various things, but couldn't find a way to move the tie horizontally.

Can you please help?

Attached is an image of the result that I'm getting at the moment.

And here's a minimal code example

\version "2.20.0"
\new DrumStaff \with {
   \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1
}
 {
   \stemUp \improvisationOn
        \override Tie.Y-offset = #-0.4
  a8 a' ~ a' a' a'4 a'4
 \improvisationOff
 }
