Thanks, that’s good to know. In the end, while playing with
\alterBroken I discovered that I could increase
Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor to get the effect I wanted. It
didn’t work in the \alterBroken command (perhaps because it’s accessed before
line breaking?) but it had the desired effect as an override.
\version "2.24.0"
\relative c' {
<ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~ <ces ces'>1~
\override Tie.details.vertical-distance-penalty-factor = #10
<ces ces'>1~
\break
<ces ces'>1
R1*3
}
Take care,
Mike Seifert
