Hi Urs,
Yes, a small example always helps. I should have included one to begin with.
The snippet here shows how the up/down behaviour is the default, but when you
go into voices the ties are unidirectional. All this is correct, I now
understand. What I was wanting was to be able to override the voicing style
defaults and tell the engraver to do it ‘my’ way, instead of the ‘proper’ way.

\\

}
\score {
\new Staff { \treble }
\layout { }

Hi Urs and David,
Thanks so much. Yes, my chords are in voices so the slurs all face the same
direction accordingly. I was completely unaware of this aspect of engraving. I
had better study more scores and order that copy of Behind Bars!
But then the question becomes transformed - can you tell the tie engraver for
a voice to override its default behaviour, even though that may be technically
incorrect? I have literally several hundred I need to tweak.
No easy way that I know of. Or, rather, no way that doesn't involve a lot of
copied code from various files. The attached should make life easier, but note
that it won't work in at least one construct.
From Andrew's description I'm not 100% clear what he actually means. Maybe
everything is much simpler?
Do you mean you don't have <x y > chords at all but polyphonic voices that
line up to "chords"?
In that case you can force any of the voices' ties in a direction through
\tieUp, \tieDown and \tieNeutral. Which is in the manuals ...
Urs
Best,
David
