Default length of laissezvibrer ties

[Nick Payne]

The default length of laissezvibrer ties in Lilypond is extremely short 
compared to those I see in commercially published scores. Here's the 
Lilypond output (default and tweaked) compared to the LV ties in scores 
from three different publishers:
\version "2.15.32"

\version "2.15.32"

xLV = #(define-music-function (parser location further) (number?) #{
    \once \override LaissezVibrerTie  #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
    \once \override LaissezVibrerTie  #'details #'note-head-gap = #(/ 
further -2)
    \once \override LaissezVibrerTie  #'extra-offset = #(cons (/ 
further 2) 0)
#})

\relative c' {
    c4\laissezVibrer s s s
    \xLV #3 c4\laissezVibrer s s s
}
