Hi Harm,
Just for the record. I used the same rhythm with an "a" and than I needed a second tweak to get the tie I wanted.
\version "2.15.14"
\include "shapeXXX.ily"
% http://www.ursliska.de/fileadmin/notensatz/shapeXXX.ily
\relative g'' {
a8 a~---> a a a a~---> a a
\newSpacingSection
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #2.3
a8^"1st tweak" a~---> a a a a~---> a a
a8^"and 2nd tweak"
\shapeTie #'(.6 -.25 .4 -.5 -.4 -.5 -.6 -.25)
a~---> a a a
\shapeTie #'(.6 -.25 .4 -.5 -.4 -.5 -.6 -.25)
a~---> a a
\newSpacingSection
\revert Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space
}
Greetings, Ed
Hi Ed,
I thought inserting some space and let lily do the rest should be enough, but I was wrong.
Tweaking the control-points is one possible way to do it.
Another approach could be to override some tie-details:
\version "2.15.13"
\relative g'' {
\override Tie #'details =
#'((note-head-gap . 0.1) ;; default: 0.2
(outer-tie-vertical-gap . 0)) % default: 0.25
g4 g~---> g g g8 g~---> g g g g~---> g g
a a~---> a a a a~---> a a
g,4 g~---> g g g8 g~---> g g g g~---> g g
\override Tie #'details =
#'((note-head-gap . 0.6)
(outer-tie-vertical-gap . 0))
ais a~---> a a a a~---> a a
\override Tie #'details =
#'((note-head-gap . 0.1)
(outer-tie-vertical-gap . 0))
g,4 g~---> g g g8 g~---> g g g g~---> g g
a a~---> a a a a~---> a a
}
Best,
Harm
