This works because the ~ is "merged" with the notes after the \repeat unfold has been expanded. Turns out Lilypond has a command to add tied notes that may be unmatched due to codas or repeat signs: If you follow the tied note that is other wise unable to be connected with the tie-initiator with the command \repeatTie, the tie shows up in the right place. It actually surprises me that musical redirections like coda and segno aren't environments like the \repeat volta n.To just set the direction of ties, use the macro \tieUp, to set the direction of both ties, stems, slurs and dots, use the macro \voiceOne. As demonstrated in the MWE below, it is possible to have a tied note that goes into a coda (or repeat or some other form of musical jumping) but in LilyPond the ~ form of the tie can't be added to the first note in the coda because it is separated from it's initiating note by line breaks and additional notes If you use the search function on I'm afraid you'll get lost in the long list of links.

Normally, ties only connect two notes in the same voice. LilyPond is a text-based music notation program.

This snippet demonstrates how to connect different voices using ties. I keep coming across situations where a tie or a slur aren't matched. Making an object invisible with the 'transparent property 0.12500 space, it takes part in collisions, and slurs, ties and beams can be attached to it.

In LilyPond, ties and slurs are expected to come in matched pairs.
