Re: Tie control-points delete another tie

Hi,

My mail probably belongs better to the user list so I post it there...

I don't know about Marco's intentions but I once had a similar case. I
got around by using both slurs and ties. That way you can adjust both
separately, e.g.;

\once \override Slur #'control-points = #'(.....)
\once \override Tie #'control-points = #'(.....)
<c e>( ~ <c e>)

I guess Lilypond doesn't really recognise that there are several
voices on one staff. Therefore, the slurs and ties of one voice may
collide with the notes of the other voices. In one song I had a
divided soprano, a divided alto and a soprano solo (5 voices) on one
staff. To get acceptable results I had to heavily modify the ties and
slurs to get acceptable results.
