Re: Why can't I \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration only \once?

Yes. But the Notation Reference demonstrates:

\relative c' {
<c e g>2~ <c e g>
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'((0.0 . 1) (-2.0 . 1) (-4.0 . 1))
<c e g>2~ <c e g>
}

Where is your point?   It would still work after the next chord.

The example gives the impression that it needs to be set before the tie. I would also expect this, so I would intuitively also place the \once\override before the tie and wonder why it doesn't work.

Hi all,

thanks for the discussion.
That the end of the tie counts is quite surprising as generally one has to place the overrides before the beginning of the item one wants to change. From reading the NR one would never think of such a possibility.

So I'd say:
a) What is the reason for this unusual behaviour? Is there a reason to keep it as it is or shouldn't we change this to a more consistent behaviour?
b) If it is decided to keep the current behaviour (for some conceptual reason or for sake of simplicity) this should be clearly documented.
In that case (please confirm) I'll prepare a documentation suggestion (at the same time correcting the issue with "half spaces" mentioned by Janek).

Best
Urs
