Re: Specify Multiple Properties ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

In such a situation, Iwould rather define two functions
\tieUpAt and \tieDownAt to be used like
\tieUpAt #-5.5
to get a tie curved upwards at staff position -5.5.
This is easy to do using the techniques I referenced in the
manual, in my initial answer.
