Hi Andrew, the function takes the default Tie.stencil as argument, calculating the result relying on the extents of this default. So there is no need for some extra feature. Just tweak the Tie as usual using Tie.details.height-limit or with \shape. Also, it's possble to change the custom-definition on the fly. \version "2.19.38" #(define ((flared-tie coords) grob) (define (pair-to-list pair) (list (car pair) (cdr pair))) (define (normalize-coords goods x y dir) (map (lambda (coord) (cons (* x (car coord)) (* y dir (cdr coord)))) goods)) (define (my-c-p-s points thick) (make-connected-path-stencil points thick 1.0 1.0 #f #f)) ; outer let to trigger suicide (let ((sten (ly:tie::print grob))) (if (grob::is-live? grob) (let* ((layout (ly:grob-layout grob)) (line-thickness (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'line-thickness)) (thickness (ly:grob-property grob 'thickness 0.1)) (used-thick (* line-thickness thickness)) (dir (ly:grob-property grob 'direction)) (xex (ly:stencil-extent sten X)) (yex (ly:stencil-extent sten Y)) (lenx (interval-length xex)) (leny (interval-length yex)) (yex (ly:stencil-extent sten Y)) (xtrans (car xex)) (ytrans (if (> dir 0)(car yex) (cdr yex))) (uplist (map pair-to-list (normalize-coords coords lenx (* leny 2) dir)))) (ly:stencil-translate (my-c-p-s uplist used-thick) (cons xtrans ytrans))) '()))) #(define flare-tie (flared-tie '((0 . 0)(0.1 . 0.2) (0.9 . 0.2) (1.0 . 0.0)))) \layout { \context { \Voice \override Tie.stencil = #flare-tie } } \paper { ragged-right = ##f } \relative c' { a'4~a \once \override Tie.details.height-limit = 14 a4~a \break a4~a \once \override Tie.details.height-limit = 0.5 a4~a \break a4~a \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 0.4) (0 . 0.4) (0 . 0)) Tie a4~a \break a4~a \once \override Tie.stencil = #(flared-tie '((0 . 0)(0.1 . 0.4) (0.9 . 0.4) (1.0 . 0.0))) a4~a a4~a \once \override Tie.stencil = #(flared-tie '((0 . 0)(0.06 . 0.1) (0.94 . 0.1) (1.0 . 0.0))) a4~a } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
