Hi Bill,

I am using the tilde to tie notes together to match the words.  I get the following error:

/tmp/frescobaldi-R8ynF5/tmpl9Xudz/IfTouKnewSusie.ly:13:4: warning: unterminated tie

a4~ g2 e4 |

The engraving comes out ok.  But the log is littered with errors.  How can I avoid this problem please?

You're wanting a slur rather than a tie:

a4( g2) e4

Bill, could you be more specific about what you want to achieve?
a4 ~ g2
will always produce an error because you can't tie an a to a g.
But this also won't engrave any curve, so it's not clear what you refer to with "comes out ok".

Hope this helps,

David
