This sounds like an answer to a question I didn't ask. I don't doubt that the arc in Werner's example is semantically a tie. What I am wondering is what kind of LilyPond grob should represent the arc, and I'm thinking that it should be a Slur because of its shape, not a Tie because of its purpose. — Dan
