Re: getting ties to NOT avoid accidentals

[Robert Edge]

Right now Lilypond moves it so far away that it is unclear to the musician reading.  I need the explicit accidentals because many of the pieces have no barlines, and clear is more important to me than pretty.

In your example the first tie(modified) is better notation than the second(default) for sure.  But I can't be doing it manually like that for every note.

Hi Robert,

Well I am cringing.

But does this come closer to what you are after?


\version "2.19.26"

{
        \clef bass
        \once \override Tie.staff-position = #-2
        cis1~ cis!1~ cis!1
}


You don’t really want the tie to cross the accidental, do you?
