While I understand your objections, I have these examples in a score I have to typeset: http://old.nabble.com/file/p28505454/des.jpg des.jpg http://old.nabble.com/file/p28505454/double.jpg double.jpg They are from an unknown copyist after a score by Webern, and it may well be decided (by me and others) to respect their setting because after all it is telling us something.
In the first example I could just use a slur instead of a tie (as long as I'm only interested in the printed output). But how would I achieve the two ties in the second example? As I understand it, slurs are drawn only once in a chord, while I can tie individual notes within a chord. Do I have to split the chord (f#/b) in two voices to be able to slur them separately?
