+ * Documentation/user/basic-notation.itely (Ties): Add example of
+ tying a tremolo to a chord. Thanks to Steve Doonan.

* lily/tie-engraver.cc: Add tieWaitForNote to the list of read
properties and move tieMelismaBusy to the list of written
properties.
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. For example,
+@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,raggedright]
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
-\grace { c16[~ e~ g]~ } <c, e g>4
+\grace { c16[~ e~ g]~ } <c, e g>2
+\repeat "tremolo" 8 { c32~ c'~ } <c c,>1
@end lilypond
