-A tie connects two adjacent note heads of the same pitch. The tie
-in effect extends the length of a note. Ties should not be
-confused with slurs, which indicate articulation, or phrasing
-slurs, which indicate musical phrasing. A tie is entered using
-the tilde symbol @samp{~}

-When a tie is applied to a chord, all note heads whose pitches
-match are connected. When no note heads match, no ties will be
-created. Chords may be partially tied by placing the tie inside
-the chord,

-A tie is just a way of extending a note duration, similar to the
-augmentation dot. The following example shows two ways of
-notating exactly the same concept

-Ties are used either when the note crosses a bar line, or when
-dots cannot be used to denote the rhythm. When using ties, larger
-note values should be aligned to subdivisions of the measure, such
-as

-If you need to tie a lot of notes over bars, it may be easier to
-use automatic note splitting (see @ref{Automatic note splitting}).
-This mechanism automatically splits long notes, and ties them
-across bar lines.

-L.v. ties (laissez vibrer) indicate that notes must not be damped

-Ties are sometimes used to write out arpeggios. In this case, two
-tied notes need not be consecutive. This can be achieved by
-setting the @code{tieWaitForNote} property to true. The same
-feature is also useful, for example, to tie a tremolo to a chord.
-For example,
-
-@lilypond[fragment,verbatim,relative=1,ragged-right,quote]
-\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
-\grace { c16[~ e~ g]~ } <c, e g>2
-\repeat tremolo 8 { c32~ c'~ } <c c,>1
-e8~ c~ a~ f~ <e' c a f>2

-Ties may be engraved manually by changing the
-@code{tie-configuration} property. The first number indicates the
-distance from the center of the staff in staff-spaces, and the
-second number indicates the direction (1=up, -1=down).

-Switching staves when a tie is active will not produce a slanted
-tie.
-
-Changing clefs or octavations during a tie is not really
-well-defined. In these cases, a slur may be preferable.
