Quoting Nils <l...@nilsgey.de>:

Hello,

I have 70 pieces with ties and slurs here. They are already in Lilypond
with the correct syntax.

Now my publisher says he wants that ties look like slurs.
I couldn't disagree more but I have no choice here.

Any suggestions how make the ties look like slurs without changing them
all manually?

It may be possible to write an engraver that would get tie events, hide ties and create slurs instead. But I see little motivation to do something that won't improve music typesetting.

You may want to replace ties with macros that can expand to a slur or to a tie.

%% Insane publisher
%tieStart = (
%tieEnd = )

% Sane publisher
tieStart = ~
tieEnd = {}

{ c'' \tieStart c'' \tieEnd }

Pavel Roskin
