Hi.
I have three questions on ties and slurs. I'm using lilypond 1.4.6
curently.
1. I'm typesetting a piano piece, and the first chord in the right
hand needs to be three and a half beats long (in 4/4 time), so I'm
trying to tie a dotted half to a quarter. So the beginning of the
right-hand portion of the score reads
\relative c'' \sequential {
< a2. c2. > ~ < a8 c8 > d8
c8 f,8 <des8 g8> <d2 aes'2> ~ <d8 aes'8>
}
When I compile, I get a warning message such as:
No ties were created!:
< a2. c2. > ~
< a8 c8 > d8
Which certainly seems to be true. This seems to be a problem
associated with the beginning of the piece --- if I repeat the measure
later, the ties get created.
2. I'd like to legato slur the first two two note chords in the
second measure, but I don't know how. The best I've been able to do
so far is:
c8 f,8 <des8 g8 ) > < ) d2 aes'2> ~ <d8 aes'8> r4
3. Is there any way to tie a grace note to the note it precedes?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
Cheers,
rif
