Hi, Michael:
Logic dictates, to me at least, that one of these should work:
\once\override Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) <b,, b,,, >4--~
\once\override Staff.Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) < b,, b,,, >4--~
\once\override Voice.Tie #'X-extent = #'(-10 . -10) < b,, b,,, >4--~
Unfortunately, your logic is flawed! =)
If I'm not mistaken, #'X-extent represents the horizontal space
APPARENTLY taken up by an object, not the actual width of the object.
It's more like a padding value than a size value.
For example, I can reserve a lot of space for a quarter note by using
%%% CODE BEGINS
\version "2.9.14"
\paper
{
ragged-right = ##t
}
stuff = \relative
{
c4 c
\once \override NoteColumn #'X-extent = #'(0 . 20) c
c
}
\score
{
\stuff
}
%%% CODE BEGINS
However, it's important to realise that I haven't changed the
physical (visual) width of the object itself -- I've only made
Lilypond THINK the note is wider than it actually is, and therefore
Lilypond leaves more room (padding) around it.
Make sense?
Best regards,
Kieren.
