Flat ties

This snippet provides a function flared-tie to draw a tie that consist of straight lines. It is intended as a replacement for the default tie-drawing function (i.e., a replacement argument for the stencil property of the Tie grob).

The argument of flared-tie is a list of coordinate pairs that specify additional points between the first and last point to span up the tie’s lines. The first and last point are identical to the original tie’s start and end point, respectively. The X and Y coordinate values are multiples of the bounding box length and height of the original tie (also taking care of the tie’s direction); consequently, the first point has coordinates (0,0), and the last point (1,0).

The function flare-tie defines a shorthand for a flat tie. Further tweaking of the shape is possible by overriding Tie.details.height-limit or with \shape. It is also possible to change the custom definition on the fly.
