Greetings Again,
          Many thanks, Thomas and Xavier. I have tried the solution but to no
avail. I have noticed that, when the same passage is transposed a
step, the smaller tie is drawn correctly as a curve. There seems to be
a conflict with the presence of the staff line and the tie. Below is
my code again, this time showing the successful transposition first,
followed by the original example without and with the adjustment to
minimum-length. Thank you in advance for any more help.
