According to Gould — which is, nowadays, the musical analogue of “according to Hoyle” — the *tie* should be adjusted and not the *dot*. So Boosey & Hawkes’s style is not the convention, but rather an editorial quirk. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean Lilypond shouldn’t also do that by default — I was just referencing the current “bible”, for the sake of the discussion. Hope this helps, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
