Affecting those ties with "\\shape" will not succeed, because TieColumn positions
them on its own behalf and more or less ignores the "\\shape-input".
You may surpress this by setting 'positioning-done true. Alas, 'positioning-done
is an internal property, setting it true means: all positioning is done, don't
do anything further. So you better take care you really did. See the example
below where this is missed: All directions are down and the thickness is not
accurate:

    Modifying those ties with \typewriter "\\shape" does not succeed,
    because \typewriter TieColumn positions them on its own behalf,
    ignoring \typewriter "\\shape" input more or less.  You may
    circumvent this by setting \typewriter positioning-done to
    \typewriter "#t" – alas, \typewriter positioning-done is an
    internal property, and setting it to \typewriter "#t" means: all
    positioning is done, don’t do anything further.  The next example
    demonstrates a case where the positioning is not finished: all tie
    directions are down, and the thickness is not accurate.
