Oh. So, setting tieWaitForNote would disable the "automatic-slurs" feature?

Then it would no longer be "bad input", would it?

I was about to say that setting or unsetting properties shouldn't
affect what is considered "bad" or "good" input syntax... But setting
such things ignoreMelismata already affects the input quite a lot.
My main concern is that such a change would amount to make the input
syntax more "fault-tolerant", which isn't the direction we've been
taking so far.

That being said, unterminated ties are currently allowed and do not
produce any warning, so I don't think the current situation is optimal
either. If anything, we could at least output a "warning: unfinished
tie. A slur will be printed instead".

How does it seems to you?
