Hi, I wanted to typeset a 4-bar extract of BWV 582 ending on a note which, in the original score, is tied over the barline but I'm not including the next bar in my extract.
I'd therefore like Lilypond to print a tie, as if it's going over to the next bar on the following line, but without there actually being a next bar. I suppose one way of doing it would be to include the next bar after a \break and crop the output, but this is going into an SVG with page-breaking = #ly:one-line-auto-height-breaking set in the \paper block, so it would have to be a same-line crop which would be very tricky to get right especially if I later make a correction which changes exactly where the barline is. Currently I'm using \laissezVibrer on the last note, which works but doesn't look quite like a tie (in particular the direction of the curves in the two parts is not consistent with that of other ties in the extract). Just wondered if I was missing out on a better way of doing "tie to nothing at the end of an extract". (If you want to see what I'm doing in context, the blog-like page I'm posting is https://ssb22.user.srcf.net/m3gan.html and the extract is an SVG near the bottom. I took a public-domain copy of the Bach from Mutopia, edited it down to two staves, got the SVG and post-processed it with a script I wrote to work around a Firefox bug, source at: https://github.com/ssb22/mwr2ly/blob/master/lilypond-svg-fixer.py although I think recent versions of Firefox no longer need this. I could post my whole .ly file, but it's a bit messy right now due to the way I edited it from the Mutopia starting point.) Thanks. Silas
