Yes, I started from there. I also read the proposed ideas in "notes about solution.txt" but I admit that it is difficult to understand for a novice to the lilypond C++ code. However, thanks for having written all this, I am sure it will become clearer later. It might be useful to add an introduction to the the concepts (what is a standalone tie? layout process in lilypond?) . In particular, the files that should be looked at at the beginning. Files containing tie in their name are quite numerous: repeat-tie-engraver.cc semi-tie.cc semi-tie-column.cc tab-tie-follow-engraver.cc tie.cc tie-column.cc tie-configuration.cc tie-details.cc tie-engraver.cc tie-formatting-problem.cc tie-performer.cc tie-specification.cc Is there also a general presentation of the calculation system which says how penalties work? It sounds like in latex... However, I will start with the user manual on ties because I have never changed the defaults up to now...
