"Squished" tie between 2 notes
At the moment I am having an issue with a tie from the alto part where it
is automatically "squished" by Lillypond. I didn't find an answer anywhere
else on how to create some space between or make the tie somewhat
noticeable. Also using the command* \shape* on the tie was not the right
choice this time (which I successfully used on some colliding ties
somewhere else in the piece).
This is how it looks in the original source:
[image: tie.png]
and this is how Lilypond engraved it (notice the tie became a very little
dot):
[image: bar 78 lily.png]
Here is the relevant part of my code (I include one measure before and one
after to preserve the layout) :
_
\version "2.24.3"
global = { \time 4/4 \key a \minor }
soprano = \relative d'' {
\voiceOne
d8 c16 b d c b a b2~ |
8 gis a4~ 16 b c8~ 16 a fis! b |
a gis fis e a8 a~ 16 gis a fis gis8.^\trill a16
}
alto = \relative e' {
\voiceTwo

}
tenor = \relative g {

bass = \relative c, {
\voiceTwo

}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "up" <<
\global
\clef "treble"
\new Voice = "soprano" { \soprano }
\new Voice = "alto" { \alto }
>>
\new Staff = "down" <<
\global
\clef "bass"
\new Voice = "tenor" { \tenor }
\new Voice = "bass" { \bass }
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment
1/8 )
}
}
}
I would really appreciate your help.

Re: "Squished" tie between 2 notes
Dear George,
I put the following in a style-sheet which I import into every lilypond
file:
\context {
\Voice
\override Tie.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
\override Tie.minimum-length = #4
\override Tie.minimum-length-after-break = #4
}
It shouldn't have any impact except that it will extend some of these
squished ties.
Let me know if this works for you.

Re: "Squished" tie between 2 notes
Sorry for short answer, I’m on the phone:
Try \tweak Tie.minimum-length #10
And then choose an appropriate number.

Of course !
But be warned that there are *so* many different ways to achieve this
and that depends on what you want to achieve.
\version "2.24.3"
\language "english"

\new Staff = "asdf" \with {
} \new Voice = "asdf" \with {

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "asdf" {
\set alignBelowContext = "asdf"
Ut e -- nim ad mi -- nim
}
{
\skip 2.
<<
\new Staff = "ossia" \with {
\clef bass
alignAboveContext = "asdf"
fontSize = -2
\override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -2)
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
} \new Voice = "ossia" {
