Re: Ties to nothing

I only got this to work without the polyphony.

This works, but there is a bit of a gap (which is fine for what I'm doing)

 \begin[20pt]{lilypond}
   \score
   {
     \notes
     {
       \time 4/4
       \property Staff.TimeSignature \set #'style = #'()
       \clef bass
       \stemUp
      b1:32~b4^"L.V." r4 r2 b1:32~b4~ \hideNotes b4 \unHideNotes r4 r2 \bar 
"|."
     }
   }
 \end{lilypond}

Thanks all,

Tim.
