Re: Ties, distance from barline at a system break

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Robert,

As I briefly mentioned \shapeII is in the openlilylib project. It's a generalisation of the builtin \shape. The openlilylib directory containing that is called 'notation-snippets/shaping-bezier-curves'. There is a well written paper there on how to use it with good examples.

Hi Kieren,

No, I didn't. Frankly, I had no idea that something like that would be necessary.

Hi Kieren,

There was no separate log-file but I copied he text from the console (I use TeXShop as the LilyPond editor) and pasted it in the Post Script of this mail. It speaks of a fatal error but nevertheless generates a nice pdf (with no improvement of the tie-distances of course). But I should have noticed the error warnings like " error: unknown escaped string: `\shapeII' " etc.

Anyway, I will follow your advice and download and install  the openlilylib framework on my path.

It is terra incognita for me but I'll have a go at it and if and when I get stuck I will scream for some more help.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Robert
