I have a follow-up question: In a situation where there’s a \break, the tie created by \laissezVibrer in bar 3 appears too short. Is there a way to manually extend or adjust its length? ``` \version "2.24.4" \fixed c' { \time 4/4 r2. g8 a8 ~ | \break \repeat volta 2 { a2. c8 c'8 ~ | \break \alternative { \volta 1 { c'2. b8 a8\laissezVibrer \bar ":|." } \volta 2 { \break c'1\repeatTie | } } c1 \bar "|." } } ``` On Sun, Mar 23, 2025 at 4:49 PM <carsonm...@ca.rr.com <mailto:carsonm...@ca.rr.com> > wrote: Peter X, Note use of \laissezVabrer and \reateTie Mark \version "2.24.4" \fixed c' { \time 4/4 r2. g8 a8 ~ | \repeat volta 2 { a2. c8 d8 ~ | \alternative { \volta 1 { d2. b8 a8\laissezVibrer \bar ":|." } \volta 2 { d1\repeatTie | } } c1 \bar "|." } } From: lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org <mailto:ca.rr....@gnu.org> <lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org <mailto:ca.rr....@gnu.org> > On Behalf Of Peter X Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2025 4:01 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org <mailto:lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Tie not rendering properly across volta alternatives Hi everyone, I’ve encountered what appears to be a rendering issue with ties when using \repeat volta and \alternative endings in LilyPond 2.24.4. Below is a minimal example that illustrates two problems: lilypond``` \version "2.24.4" \fixed c' { \time 4/4 r2. g8 a8 ~ | % ✅ This tie displays correctly — connects to the start of the repeat. \repeat volta 2 { a2. c8 d8 ~ | % ✅ This tie displays correctly \alternative { \volta 1 { d2. b8 a8 ~ \bar ":|." % ❌ This tie is not displayed. % It should visually tie back to the start of the repeat block (i.e., the 'a2.'). } \volta 2 { d1 | % ❌ Missing tie from 'd8~' before the alternatives. } } c1 \bar "|." } } ``` Issue 1: In \volta 1, the tie from a8~ is not shown, even though logically it should connect to the repeated section’s first note (a2.). Issue 2: In \volta 2, the d1 is not tied from the d8~ in the bar before the \alternative, even though musically it is expected. I understand that some of these rendering behaviors might be due to how LilyPond internally splits alternatives or handles context. But is there any way to force these ties to appear visually without resorting to hidden notes or hacks? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Pt
