Wonderful, thank you.

Is there some way to limit the scope of this command or is it best to simply use
    \set tieWaitForNote = ##f
once I no longer need it?

Not that I expect that I'll have to disable it as I usually don't
write ties unless I actually need them (except very rarely between
chords with less-than-perfect match), I would only like to know the
general principle (in TeX there is \begin ... \end :).

Thank you,
    Mojca
