Hey James,
Ties, like beams and stems, vary widely in terms of aesthetic preference, and
LilyPond offers a few properties to help express these preferences through
various minima, maxima, and penalties.
Try setting:
\override Tie #'details #'outer-tie-length-symmetry-penalty-factor = #0
before your chords - I think this may be what you're after.
Here is a list of all the factors and their default settings :
(ratio . 0.333)
(center-staff-line-clearance . 0.6)
(tip-staff-line-clearance . 0.45)
(note-head-gap . 0.2)
(stem-gap . 0.35)
(height-limit . 1.0)
(horizontal-distance-penalty-factor . 10)
(same-dir-as-stem-penalty . 8)
(min-length-penalty-factor . 26)
(tie-tie-collision-distance . 0.45)
(tie-tie-collision-penalty . 25.0)
(intra-space-threshold . 1.25)
(outer-tie-vertical-distance-symmetry-penalty-factor . 10)
(outer-tie-length-symmetry-penalty-factor . 10)
(vertical-distance-penalty-factor . 7)
(outer-tie-vertical-gap . 0.25)
(multi-tie-region-size . 3)
(single-tie-region-size . 4)
(between-length-limit . 1.0)
We always strive to have the best out-of-the-box result possible, so if you
feel after experimenting with these settings that you arrive at a result that
is more akin to what you see in musical rep, send us a scan of the rep and the
parameters you used to get there and we can start considering how to encode
this (these) exception(s) in LilyPond's default output.
Cheers,
MS
