As some of you will have noticed, Janek yesterday published an article
on lilypondblog.org announcing that he intends to make a considerable
effort substantially improving LilyPond's tie formatting - one of the
fields Lily really can use some updates.
After having collected countless examples of badly formatted ties and
having spent countless hours with tweaking ties he decided to give it a
serious try.
I'm not posting this to praise Janek but to make sure _everybody_ gets
the chance to see that post. While he already has done very thorough
research the project is just too big for him alone.
So anybody who is interested in getting better default ties from
LilyPond _please_ read his post at
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/07/lilypond-tie-crusade and consider
joining him. While the most urgent need would be people who analyze and
improve the C++ code with him he will also be grateful for any
discussion (of design strategies, engraving goals ...) or even examples
of badly engraved default ties.
Feedback is welcome on this list, lilypond-devel, the blog post or
directly by email to Janek.
Best
Urs
