Engraving ties manually: Difference between revisions

(2 intermediate revisions by the same user not shown)

Line 1:

A single tie may be engraved manually by changing the <code>staff-position</code> property (an offset) of the <code>Tie</code> grob; if there are multiple ties at the same musical moment, they can be adjusted manually by changing the <code>tie-configuration</code> property (a list of offset/direction pairs) of the <code>TieColumn</code> object.

The offset indicates the distance from the center of the staff in half staff spaces, the direction can be either 1 (up) or -1 (down).

The offset indicates the distance from the center of the staff in half-staff spaces, the direction can be either 1 (up) or -1 (down).

Note that LilyPond makes a distinction between exact and inexact values for the offset. If using an exact value (i.e., either an integer or a fraction like <code>(/ 4 5)</code>), the value serves as a rough vertical position that gets further tuned by LilyPond to make the tie avoid staff lines. If using an inexact value like a floating point number, it is taken as the precise vertical position without further adjustments.
