Greetings,
I'm sure this has been addressed elsewhere, although my search of the
forum turns up negative: It seems that in some instances the program
will default to a tie placement such that it is bound to collide with
certain articulations, such as tenuto marks. It appears as if ties are
lowered for notes on spaces (e.g. the B5), yet they are higher for notes
on lines (the 5). I would imagine this is to avoid tie endpoints on
lines when such notes appear within the staff, yet one ends up with two
different tie appearances, i.e. ties wholly between noteheads (the first
measure) and ties above and just slightly off-centered from noteheads
(the second measure). The previous would correspond, for instance, to
Vinci's recommendations for tie endpoints (see _Die Notenschrift_),
whereas the latter corresponds to Gardner Read.
Can one _easily_ override the problem in the latter measure, without
having to tweak tie end-points or offsets? (I have done both in the
past.) The ideal would be to create a global behavior in which ties
appear either a) wholly between noteheads (this would require offsetting
the left tie end-point to the right of augmentation dots), as per Vinci,
or b) to raise ties so that they appear above tenuto marks. This latter
occurs above the A5 with the augmentation dot, and I'm not sure why only
it has the raised tie, although I suppose it has something to do with
the dot itself.
Thanks,
EF
You might try the tweaks covered in Learning Manual 4.5.3 "Real Music
Example," which has an instance of a tie that needs to be raised to
avoid collision with something.
