Re: Tie not working as expected

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

The tie ~ and number 1 in measure 3 are in the wrong order, the tie should come after the number. 

What happens is that Lilypond, when it sees a pitch or duration alone interprets it as a new note, with the missing pitch or duration carried over from the previous note. So g~1 becomes a g with the duration 1 carried over from the chord before, then a tie and then a whole note (1) with the pitch g carried over from the note before the tie.

New Lilypond user here.  The following code is not working as I expect:

\version "2.24.0"

\language "english"

\score {

  <<

  \new Staff {

    \key d \major

    \time 4/4

    \relative c' {

      <d~ a'~>1 | <d a'>1 | g~1 | g2 <fs a>2 |

    }

  }

  >>

  \layout { }

}

I expect to see 4 measures with ties between measures 1 and 2, and then 3 and 4.  Instead I am seeing 5 measures with an extra whole note in measure 4 tied to measure 3.  (Image attached).

What am I doing wrong?

Version info:

LilyPond 2.24.0 (running Guile 2.2)

Frescobaldi Version 3.0.0

Linux Mint 20.3 (in a virtual machine if it matters).

Thanks!
