Re: Clashing ties & slurs with tieWaitForNote

[Steve Lacy]

FYI for the background, this is from the Violin part of a Sibelius piece that I'm re-engraving a section for a friend.  Here's what I'm trying to replicate:

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll just drop the tie and use slurs + phrasing slurs.

Any thoughts on avoiding these clashes without having to manually tweak all the slurs?

Yes, writing semantically correct notes, like this:

c''2 \( ( b'4 )  c''4 \)

I can't think of an instrument or musical style where your input makes sense.

If that note should really be tied (i.e. a held note) then you'd need two separate voices, like

{
  \new Staff  <<
    {
      \voiceOne
      c''2. ~ c''4
    }
    \new Voice {
      \voiceTwo
      c''2 ( b'4 )
    }
  >>
}

+1! 

I've played songs on the piano that have this feel, but I agree that something like this should most likely done with multiple voices (and LilyPond handles it much better anyway).

If this is necessary, do you really have that many instances where a manual direction tweak is prohibitive, like the following:

\score{

  {

    \set tieWaitForNote = ##t

  c''2 _( ~ b'4 )  c''4  

    c''2  ~ b'4 _(  c''4 )  

  }

  \layout{}

}

If so, I'd definitely go with separate voices.

Best,

Abraham
