Surely i will experiment when i'll be finishing my tie report :) However, given how often current ties fail, i'm pretty sure that the current system is not good. I have a strong feeling that it's an overkill; from what i've already seen i could probably write a deterministic algorithm that would perform better in many cases and use half as much parameters. I may be wrong; however, i think that the core of the problem is that while slurs are really complicated and need advanced heuristics and guesswork, ties are significantly more straightforward. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
