Kieren, You are correct but this way you (hopefully) assure a homogeneous look. I don't think you actually want to tweak each tie/slur you put down. But perhaps a scheme function might actually be what you need... Then again, if the tie/notehead collisions are considered bugs they will probably

Take a look at the Emacs mode for LilyPond. If you are not fluent in emacs lisp, it's probably easiest to just load some score files in emacs and see what the mode does to it (make sure to set it up according to the instructions in elisp/lilypond-init.el). /Mats Kieren Richard MacMillan wrote:
