Re: Tie/Accidental Collision

[Stefano Troncaro]

@Kieren

But I would suggest not having the Stem whiteout affect the StaffSymbol… It's probably enough just to write

I'm sorry, I do not understand this, it seems that I'm missing some important information. Could you elaborate a bit?

Maybe use the \shape function?

I thought that \shape didn't work inside chords? Unless I'm doing something wrong:

\version "2.19.80"

\relative c'' {
  \override Tie.minimum-length = 6
  <c -\shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 5) (0 . 5) (0 . 0)) ~
  c, ~>
  <c g e c>
}

\relative c'' {
  \override Tie.minimum-length = 6
  <c -\shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 5) (0 . 5) (0 . 0)) ~
  c,>
  <c g e c>
}

@Sam

Great that you found a solution!

Hi Kieren and Stéfano,

Thanks so much for both of your help; your ideas were both different (but much simpler) approaches than I was considering, and I was able to combine them into the best solution for my full example.

Take care,

Sam

Hi Stéfano,

How about using TieColum.tie-configuration? Together with Tie.details.height-limit you can avoid the collision.

This is nice!

But I would suggest not having the Stem whiteout affect the StaffSymbol… It's probably enough just to write

   \override Tie.layer = -2

and

   \once \override Stem.layer = -1

I don't know how to shorten the Ties

Maybe use the \shape function?

Cheers,
Kieren.
