One more thing about the elision/lyric tie, which I discovered today:
I generated eps files from two different but structurally identical
files, in the same batch process, and one ended up at 100 kb, the
other at 1.2 Mb. I couldn't understand why, but eventually, I realized
that there was an elision tie in the big file.
I understand that the sign is not part of LPs own font and that it is
taken from some other font available on the system, but it seems a
huge difference just for one sign.
It may not be something that everyone uses all the time, but I do, and
I'd very much like to see a better solution to this. Another thing is
that the sign as it now is -- at least as it is generated on my
system -- is way too wide. Common practice is that it looks more like
a semi-circle than a musical tie, and it goes *between* the syllables,
not *under* them.
Consider this a request and a sponsorship offer for a better elision
mechanism.
