Hello, and thank you very much for your help. The first one worked
wonderfully, but I'm having a little bit of trouble getting the second thing
to work. Here is the function that I set up, based on the tweak to which
you referred me with the modification you gave me:
#(define (my-callback grob)
(let* ((orig (ly:grob-original grob)) ; have we been split?
(siblings (if (ly:grob? orig) ; if yes, get the split
pieces (our siblings)
(ly:spanner-broken-into orig) '() )))
(if (and (>= (length siblings) 2)
(eq? (car (last-pair siblings)) grob))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'direction UP))))
breakTieUp = \override Tie #'after-line-breaking = #my-callback
And then here's how I used it: a2. ~ \breakTieUp a2.~ \break
Have I done this right? Did I do something wrong? It isn't giving me any
errors, yet the output looks exactly the same >.<
