TiesA tie connects two adjacent note heads of the same pitch. The tie in
effect extends the length of a note. Ties should not be confused with
slurs, which indicate articulation, or phrasing slurs, which indicate
musical phrasing. A tie is entered using the tilde symbol ` e' ~ e' <<c' e' g'>> ~ <<c' e' g'>> When a tie is applied to a chord, all note heads (whose pitches match) are connected. If you try to tie together chords that have no common pitches, no ties will be created. If you want less ties created for a chord, you can set
\property Voice.sparseTies = ##t <<c' e' g'>> ~ <<c' e' g'>> In its meaning a tie is just a way of extending a note duration, similar to the augmentation dot: the following example are two ways of notating exactly the same concept. If you need to tie notes over bars, it may be easier to use Automatic note splitting. See also Tie . BUGS At present, the tie is represented as a separate event, temporally located in between the notes. Tying only a subset of the note heads of a chord is not supported in a simple way. It can be achieved by moving the tie-engraver into the Thread context and turning on and off ties per Thread. Switching staves when a tie is active will not work. |
