Henry,
It's not the tie, but the slur that is causing your problem. Slurs enforce
a lyric melisma. You have two options:
1. You can either remove the slur (which I think is the right thing to do):
melody = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key a \major
\time 4/4
b8. b16 b16 cis8 a16~ a8. e16 fis8 a16 a~ |
a8 fis r4 r2 |
r2 r4 r8 a16 a |
}
2. If you must have it, you can turn the slur into a phrasing slur which
doesn't enforce a melisma like a slur does:
melody = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key a \major
\time 4/4
b8. b16 b16 cis8 a16~ a8. e16 fis8 a16 \( a~ |
a8 fis \) r4 r2 |
r2 r4 r8 a16 a |
}
Take your pick!
