Thanks, that’s good to know. In the end, while playing with \alterBroken I discovered that I could increase Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor to get the effect I wanted. It didn’t work in the \alterBroken command (perhaps because it’s accessed before line breaking?) but it had the desired effect as an override.
\version "2.24.0" \relative c' { <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ \override Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor = #10 <ces ces'>1~ \break <ces ces'>1 R1*3 } Take care, Mike Seifert > On Jul 24, 2023, at 9:07 AM, Jean Abou Samra <j...@abou-samra.fr> wrote: > > Hi, > > If you just want to tweak both parts of the broken tie that > extends over the line break, you should simply put the override > before the note where it starts, like this: > > \version "2.24.1" > > \relative c' { > <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ > \override Tie.direction = #UP > <c c'>1~ > \break > <c c'>1 R1*3 > } > > > If you want to adjust these separately, the command you > need to use is \alterBroken. > > \version "2.24.1" > > \relative c' { > <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ <c c'>1~ > \alterBroken color #'("red" "blue") Tie > <c c'>1~ > \break > <c c'>1 R1*3 > } > > This is documented here: > https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/spanners.html#modifying-broken-spanners > > However, that's not going to work for the direction > property (a known issue: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/3198 ). > > Best, > Jean >
