Re: lilypond bug 2368

[Karol Majewski]

OK, thanks for explanation! Actually, I've menaged to solve my problem by
entering hidden notes with unHidden slur in separate voice. Now the tie
refers to the right notes and appeals to my sense of aesthetic - despite
colliding with an accidental (take a look at the attachment).

Janek, I'm not a student of Politechnika Warszawska - neither former nor
present. I'm a former student of Akademia Muzyczna w Gdańsku :)

Best Wishes
