RE: Tie settings question

[Andrew Bernard]

Greetings All,

For other learners reading this thread in the future, I just thought I would
mention that since the details property of Tie is an association list
(alist), you can specify the values in Scheme in a way that I personally
find more readable and less noisy. Here's the syntax, just using the Tie
default values:

  \override Tie.details =
  #'((ratio . 0.333)
     (center-staff-line-clearance . 0.6)
     (tip-staff-line-clearance . 0.45)
     (note-head-gap . 0.2)
     (stem-gap . 0.35)
     (height-limit . 1.0)
     (horizontal-distance-penalty-factor . 10)
     (same-dir-as-stem-penalty . 8)
     (min-length-penalty-factor . 26)
     (tie-tie-collision-distance . 0.45)
     (tie-tie-collision-penalty . 25.0)
     (intra-space-threshold . 1.25)
     (outer-tie-vertical-distance-symmetry-penalty-factor . 10)
     (outer-tie-length-symmetry-penalty-factor . 10)
     (vertical-distance-penalty-factor . 7)
     (outer-tie-vertical-gap . 0.25)
     (multi-tie-region-size . 3)
     (single-tie-region-size . 4)
     (between-length-limit . 1.0))


Refer to NR Section 5.2.6 Modifying alists.

I work really hard to make LilyPond ties look the way I want. My current
settings are the following:

    \override Tie.details.height-limit = #1.25
    \override Tie.details.ratio = #0.25
    \override Tie.details.between-length-limit = #1
    \override Tie.details.wrong-direction-offset-penalty = #10
    \override Tie.details.min-length = #2
    \override Tie.details.min-length-penalty-factor = #30
    \override Tie.details.center-staff-line-clearance = #0.05
    \override Tie.details.tip-staff-line-clearance = #0.05
    \override Tie.details.staff-line-collision-penalty = #0
    \override Tie.details.dot-collision-clearance = #0
    \override Tie.details.dot-collision-penalty = #0
    \override Tie.details.note-head-gap = #0.15
    \override Tie.details.stem-gap = #0.15
    \override Tie.details.tie-column-monotonicity-penalty = #100
    \override Tie.details.tie-tie-collision-penalty = #25
    \override Tie.details.tie-tie-collision-distance = #0.5
    \override Tie.details.horizontal-distance-penalty-factor = #0
    \override Tie.details.same-dir-as-stem-penalty = #20
    \override Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor = #10
    \override Tie.details.intra-space-threshold = #0
    \override Tie.details.outer-tie-length-symmetry-penalty-factor = #0
    \override
Tie.details.outer-tie-vertical-distance-symmetry-penalty-factor = #0
    \override Tie.details.outer-tie-vertical-gap = #0
    \override Tie.details.single-tie-region-size = #4
    \override Tie.details.skyline-padding = #0.05
    \override Tie.details.multi-tie-region-size = #1
    \override Tie.line-thickness = #0.25
    \override Tie.thickness = #2
