Re: Tie engraver

Hi Urs and David,

Thanks so much. Yes, my chords are in voices so the slurs all face the same direction accordingly. I was completely unaware of this aspect of engraving. I had better study more scores and order that copy of Behind Bars!

But then the question becomes transformed - can you tell the tie engraver for a voice to override its default behaviour, even though that may be technically incorrect? I have literally several hundred I need to tweak.

Greetings All,

The tie machinery for ties between chords puts them all one way, up or down, when using  a simple tilde for tying.

The following snippet has one upward tie and two downward ties.

{
  <c' e' g'>~ <c' e' g'>
}

If you use \voiceOne, \voiceTwo, etc., the ties will be oriented in the same direction, as convention would dictate:

{
  \voiceOne <c' e' g'>~ <c' e' g'>
}

Is this what's happen with your score?  You shouldn't have to adjust the direction of ties in the majority of cases.

But *if* you have to do it you can still write

{
  <c'^~ e'_~ g'^~> <c' e' g'>
}

to conveniently set the direction of the individual ties.
