Hi Robert,
I use trickery:
1) with a shortened first note duration to stop the first tie
2) with hidden notes to get ties to start/stop at a time I want
\version "2.21.0"
% By Nick Payne. Hide notes etc but also avoid (invisible) collisions.
transOn = {
\override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
\override NoteHead.no-ledgers = ##t
\hide NoteHead
\hide Stem
\hide Flag
\hide Beam
\hide Dots
\hide Accidental
\hide TupletBracket
\hide TupletNumber
}
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\relative c {
<f, c'>1*1/4~ \once \transOn q2 \once \transOn q4~ |
\once \transOn q1 |
}
}
}
HTH,
Rutger

Hi Robin,
I tried some of the procedures I found on
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-05/msg00202.html,
the thread you advised me to look at but they did not help me very much.
So I tried to develop some trick or tweak without having to program
things with scheme, with which I have no experience at all.
Anyway, I found something that gave me a result, not quite identical to
what I wanted to get, but good enough for me and probably sufficiently
clear for a pianist.
See the attached screenshot.
Best regards,
Robert
