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.

No easy way that I know of.  Or, rather, no way that doesn't involve a lot of copied code from various files.  The attached should make life easier, but note that it won't work in at least one construct.

From Andrew's description I'm not 100% clear what he actually means. Maybe everything is much simpler?

Do you mean you don't have <x y > chords at all but polyphonic voices that line up to "chords"?
In that case you can force any of the voices' ties in a direction through \tieUp, \tieDown and \tieNeutral. Which is in the manuals ...

Urs

Best,

David
