slur or tie to no note in Lillypond
I am trying to have a slured note to 'nothing' in a musical example in my paper, like this:

Any tie (~) or slur () I put in Lilypond (actually Frescobaldi), nothing happens.
This is the code I am using:

version "2.18.2"
global = {
key bes major
numericTimeSignature
time 6/8
}

violin = relative c'' {
global
% Music follows here.
c ees f~
}

score {
new Staff violin
layout { }
}

Any help is appreciated!

Use laissezVibrer instead of ~. Cf the notation manual.

You can tie the note to a hidden note.

{ time 6/8 relative c'' {
c4 e f~ | once hideNotes f c b
} }
