Re: Specifying bezier curve for tie across line break collides with clef symbol

If I attempt to force the tie to the correct position by specifying its bezier points, then the start and end point are correct, but a) the tie does not continue almost to the bar line as it otherwise would, and b) the continuation of the tie on the 2nd line passes through the clef symbol (bezier.png). I can fix it by forcing a line break before bar 36, so that the tie is not broken across two staves, but this then means that the preceding bar has a complete line to itself and looks very sparse and rather out of place. Is there any other solution that anyone can suggest. Nick Here's a small example that demonstrates the problem. The lower of the two ties between bars 2 and 3 appears to go to the wrong note, and if you uncomment the override for the tie control points to get it correctly positioned vertically, the continuation of the tie in bar 3 starts at the left of the clef symbol. \version "2.13.43" #(set-global-staff-size 24) \relative c'' {     \time 6/4     << {         a'8 g fis e dis e \acciaccatura e d4. c'8 b4 |         c4 r2 s2. |         dis8 b c b a g b2\rest <e gis,>4 |     } \\ {         fis,,,8 e' dis e fis b, c4. g8 a4 |         dis2 r4 s2. |         b2 r4 r2. |     } \\ {         fis4 s2 s2. |         s8 e'' fis e g fis ~ fis4. gis8 a4 ~ |         a4 c,2\rest s2. |     } \\ {         s1. |         c8\rest b a g a c dis4. e,8 %        \once \override Tie #'control-points = #'((1 . -2) (2.5 . -2.5) (3.5 . -2.5) (5 . -2))         fis4 ~ |         fis4 s2 fis'8 e dis cis dis b |     } >> }
