Hi Galen,
Yes, there are several ways:
The most obvíous way is to use
\override Tie.minimum-length = #...
But this also affects the spacing of notes.
If I get you correctly, you'd rather like to keep the spacing (without
lyrics, it's even tighter), but you don't want the ties to become too
short
when slipping in between the noteheads.
This can be achieved by playing around with one of the details
properties:
\override Tie.details.min-length = #...
A sufficiently large value of details.min-length will prevent a tie
from
being squeezed into a too narrow gap between noteheads.
Thanks, Torsten — this second approach is just what I need.
However, I’m a bit baffled as to how I could have found this setting.
The [tie internals
page](http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/tie)
doesn’t list min-length as one of the members of tie’s `details`
alist.
Where is this setting documented?
Thanks again!
Galen
