Hi,
(I hope I don't start a discussion orthogonal to the actual topic:)
I don't think this is the right place – \laissezVibrer is not related
to repeats at all.
That's something I have been wondering for some time now: There seem to
be two semantically very different ideas relating to ties to/from
nothing, namely:
- as an articulation: Obvious for \laissezVibrer from the name, but
might also be conceivable as some esoteric form of "dal niente" for
\repeatTie
- as a special construction for ties cut in half by repeat barlines
(which might also be needed for slurs and phrasing slurs, for that matter).
At the moment, \laissezVibrer and \repeatTie form a geometrically
symmetric pair, so to speak, but the names are distinctly
non-symmetrical, one name emphasizing the use as an articulation, the
other the use in a repeat situation.
Wouldn't it, in the interest of semantically "correct" coding, more
natural to have distinct commands
- for articulation: a pair of \laissezVibrer and (e.g.) \tieFromNothing
- for repeats: a pair of (e.g.) \openingTie & \closingTie or
\tieToRepeat & \tieFromRepeat ?
